🌊 Use case
AwakeMate for vibecoders
You describe, the agent builds, you ride the flow. But the best runs are long - and the second you lean back, macOS sleeps and freezes the agent mid-thought. AwakeMate keeps your Mac awake while the agents cook, then lets it sleep.

A sleeping Mac kills the vibe
You kick off a big task in Claude Code, lean back, and let it plan, read files, write code and run your tests. Twenty quiet minutes later macOS decides you are idle and sleeps - the agent freezes mid-loop, the session drops, and the flow you were riding is gone. Vibe coding only works if the machine keeps cooking while you think.
Built for how vibecoders actually work
Knows your agents by name
Auto-detects claude, codex and aider - even when an npm-installed agent shows up to macOS as just node. Add Cursor, Windsurf or any editor by name.
Awake while it cooks
Keeps the Mac up for the whole run - the long thinks, the test loops, the waiting on the model - then steps aside the moment it is done.
Close the lid and let it run
Lid-closed mode keeps the agent going with the laptop shut and the screen dimmed. Drop it in your bag, tether to your phone, and nudge it from anywhere.
Zero babysitting
No caffeinate to remember, no global switch to undo. It sleeps the instant the agent finishes, so your battery and your flow both survive.
Agents and editors it keeps alive
Auto-detected by name out of the box - and you can add any editor or process you vibe with.
GUI editors like Cursor or Windsurf are opt-in - add them by name so just having the editor open does not hold the Mac awake until you say so.
Frequently asked
Does it work with Claude Code, Cursor and Codex?
Yes. Claude Code, Codex and Aider are auto-detected by name, and Deep CLI detection sees them even when they run as node or python. For a GUI editor like Cursor or Windsurf, add it to your watched apps by name - it is opt-in, so just having the editor open does not hold the Mac awake until you choose.
Will it cut my agent off while it is thinking?
No. Agents spend long stretches waiting on the model, which looks idle to macOS but is not. Leave Sleep when tools go idle off for agents and AwakeMate keeps the Mac awake the whole session, quiet thinking included.
Can I close the lid and let it keep cooking, even on battery?
Yes. Turn on Keep awake with the lid closed and the agent runs with the laptop shut and the screen dimmed - on most Apple Silicon Macs, on battery or power. See it in action →
