Don't Sleep: Prevent Auto Sleep on macOS

Open-source app to keep your Mac awake, ideal for presentations and meetings, with no ads or trackers.

What is Don't Sleep?

Don't Sleep is a free and open-source application for macOS that prevents your Mac computer from going to sleep automatically. It was created by software developer Adam Laurie and is distributed under an MIT license.

The main purpose of Don't Sleep is to stop your Mac from activating sleep, display sleep, or starting up screen savers. This can be useful in a variety of situations where you need your Mac to remain awake, such as:

• Giving presentations, demos, or lectures where your Mac is connected to a projector
• During long uploads or downloads where the sleep function might interrupt the process
• When you are remotely accessing your Mac and don't want it to sleep and disconnect
• Any circumstance where having your Mac go to sleep would be disruptive or inconvenient

Don't Sleep runs unobtrusively in your menu bar. With one click you can instantly disable all sleep functions. And it remembers your settings, so it will spring back to life configured just how you had it.

The app is fully compatible with recent versions of macOS. It's free, has no ads, requires no installation, and weighs in at just 75KB. If you occasionally need your Mac to avoid sleeping, Don't Sleep is a simple but handy utility to have around.
