Nothing is more frustrating than a Mac sleeping mid-download, mid-render, or during a presentation. Keep Awake gives you precise control — pick a duration, choose a mode, and set it to turn off automatically. Free users get Display Awake; Pro users unlock System Awake, Lid Closed, charging-only mode, and time scheduling.
Toggle Keep Awake on or off right from the menu bar — no need to open System Settings.
Choose 15 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or run indefinitely. Keep Awake turns off automatically when the timer ends.
Keeps your screen on and prevents the display from sleeping — great for video calls and presentations.
Keeps the entire system awake while allowing the display to sleep — perfect for long background tasks.
Run your Mac with the lid closed and charger connected. Ideal for clamshell setups.
Set a daily active window (e.g. 9am–6pm, weekdays only) and optionally only run Keep Awake while charging.
Click the S icon in your menu bar to open Synapse.
Toggle the Keep Awake switch or click a duration pill (15m, 1h, 2h, ∞).
Expand 'Advanced Awake modes' to choose between Display, System, or Lid Closed.
