StayAwake
Keep your Mac awake when you need it. One click in your menu bar.
What it does
Long downloads, Zoom calls, presentations, render jobs — sometimes you just need your Mac to stay awake without messing with Energy Saver settings. StayAwake adds one icon to your menu bar: click it on, your Mac stays awake. Click off, it goes back to normal sleep behavior.
- One click to keep your Mac awake
- Lives in the menu bar — no Dock icon clutter
- No Energy Saver tweaks, no daemons, no settings pane
- Zero CPU when idle, under 1MB RAM
Dugi downloadi, Zoom pozivi, prezentacije, renderiranje — ponekad jednostavno trebate da vam Mac ostane budan bez petljanja po Energy Saver postavkama. StayAwake dodaje jednu ikonu u menu bar: kliknete je, Mac ostaje budan. Kliknete ponovno, vraća se na uobičajeno ponašanje.
- Jedan klik da Mac ostane budan
- Živi u menu baru — bez ikone u Docku
- Bez Energy Saver postavki, daemona ili panela
- Nula CPU-a kad miruje, ispod 1MB RAM-a
Why native?
StayAwake is small on purpose. It does one thing — keep your Mac awake on demand — and lives quietly in your menu bar. Most utility apps in this category are 100MB Electron monsters that hold a full Chromium runtime in RAM just to draw an icon. That's absurd. StayAwake is under a megabyte.
Built in Swift on Apple Silicon, it launches in under 50ms, idles at zero CPU, and uses Apple's official IOKit power management APIs (IOPMAssertion) to keep your Mac awake cleanly. No shell-out to caffeinate, no Dock icon clutter, no preferences pane — just a tiny menu bar item that does exactly what you'd expect.
And like every other Co Digit app: zero telemetry, zero analytics, zero network traffic.
StayAwake je namjerno malen. Radi jednu stvar — drži Mac budnim na zahtjev — i tiho živi u menu baru. Većina alata u ovoj kategoriji su Electron čudovišta od 100MB koja drže cijeli Chromium runtime u RAM-u samo da bi nacrtali ikonu. To je apsurdno. StayAwake je manji od megabajta.
Izgrađen u Swiftu na Apple Siliconu, pokreće se u manje od 50ms, miruje na nula CPU-a i koristi Appleove službene IOKit API-je za upravljanje energijom (IOPMAssertion) kako bi čisto držao Mac budnim. Bez poziva na caffeinate, bez ikone u Docku, bez panela s postavkama — samo majušna stavka u menu baru koja radi točno ono što očekujete.
I kao i svaka druga Co Digit aplikacija: nula telemetrije, nula analitike, nula mrežnog prometa.
