One less thing
to keep an eye on.
Your next build shouldn't depend on you moving the mouse. Agent Awake prevents idle system sleep for the session you choose, using native macOS power management.
02 / CHOOSE YOUR MODE
Stay visible, or step away.
Keep your desktop visible, use the app’s Agent Lock privacy screen, or turn off the display with Apple Lock. For a secure macOS lock, set the password requirement to Immediately.
03 / SEE WHAT’S RUNNING
Your local agents, at a glance.

Before you download
A few useful details.
Which Macs does this release support?
Version 0.8.1 is built for Apple Silicon (M-series Macs) and requires macOS 13 or later. An Intel build is not included in this release.
Is the app signed and notarized?
This is an early preview with an ad-hoc signature. It is not Developer ID signed or Apple notarized, so macOS may block it from opening. A notarized release is needed for the standard public installation experience. Do not disable your Mac’s security protections to install it.
Can I close my MacBook lid?
Agent Awake prevents idle sleep. It cannot guarantee continued work when the lid is closed, the battery is low, or macOS needs to protect the hardware. Keep the lid open, or use a supported external-display setup.
Does Agent Lock replace the macOS lock screen?
No. Agent Lock is an app-provided privacy screen. For macOS lock protection, use Apple Lock and set System Settings → Lock Screen → Require password after the screen saver begins or display is turned off to Immediately.
How do I install the preview?
Download the disk image, open it, and drag Agent Awake into Applications. The current preview is not notarized; macOS may prevent it from opening. This download is for people who want to evaluate the early release.
