Keepresso prevents Mac sleep via smart triggers

Keepresso is a free, open-source macOS menu bar application that keeps your Mac awake using smart triggers and official APIs. It features timed sessions, a lid-closed wake mode without external displays, and a headless-Mac toolkit with virtual HiDPI screens.

// ANALYSIS

While simple "caffeine" style tools are common, Keepresso stands out by integrating smart, programmatic triggers, a closed-display mode that doesn't require power/monitors, and a headless-Mac toolkit.

–Smart wake management using official macOS APIs ensures it doesn't disrupt active workflows or rely on hacky mouse jiggling.
–The closed-display mode on battery power is a massive quality-of-life improvement for developers compiling code or running agents.
–The headless-Mac toolkit and AWDL-disabling gaming mode address highly specific power-user pain points that other wake tools ignore.
