● macOS Utility · Free

Keep your Mac
awake, your way.

No sleep interruptions. No system setting gymnastics. Pick a mode — caffeinate outright, or nudge the mouse every 10 or 15 seconds — and get back to work.

StayAwake app

Three modes.
Zero friction.

Click the menu bar icon and pick what you need. That's it.

01 ──
Caffeinate

Blocks macOS sleep entirely. Your screen stays on, your session stays active. Best for presentations, downloads, or anything that can't be interrupted.

🖱
02 ──
Shift Every 10s

Subtly moves the mouse cursor every 10 seconds. Tricks your Mac into thinking you're active without blocking sleep settings at the system level.

03 ──
Shift Every 15s

Same as 10s but with a longer interval — less intrusive for work that requires precision cursor control. A gentler nudge at a relaxed pace.

Lives in your
menu bar.

One click away, always. No dock clutter, no open windows.

Menu Bar Sits quietly in your menu bar. Always one click away — no app window, no dock icon.
Mode Switcher Click the icon to instantly switch between Caffeinate, Shift 10s, Shift 15s, or Off. No dialogs, no confirmations.
No Permissions Doesn't ask for accessibility, location, or any system permissions. Opens and runs immediately.
Fully Offline No network requests, no telemetry, no analytics. Your usage stays on your machine.

Free. Tiny.
Just works.

No account. No telemetry. No nonsense. Open it and go.
