Agents Never Sleep
About Agents Never Sleep
Agents Never Sleep is a lightweight macOS utility designed to prevent system sleep and maintain background processes even when the laptop lid is closed. The tool operates directly from the menu bar, requiring no complex configuration beyond installation. It specifically addresses a limitation in macOS where built-in commands like caffeinate fail to keep processes active once the lid is closed. The application is marketed as native, minimal in resource usage, and privacy-focused, with no telemetry or user tracking. It is particularly useful for users running long-running tasks such as AI agents, automated workflows, or background services that would otherwise pause during sleep. By ensuring uninterrupted operation, it eliminates the need for manual terminal commands or system-wide sleep adjustments, providing a straightforward solution for persistent background activity on macOS systems.

Frequently asked questions about Agents Never Sleep

Is there a refund policy if the tool doesn’t meet my needs?
Yes, the tool offers a 14-day money-back guarantee with no forms or reasons required for a refund.

No, the application is designed to be data-minimizing with no telemetry or user tracking.
How do I get started with Agents Never Sleep?
Simply install the application, and it will run from the menu bar without requiring additional setup.
Is Agents Never Sleep suitable for running AI agents or automated tasks?
Yes, it is specifically designed for users who need to keep long-running processes active, such as AI agents or automated workflows, even with the lid closed.
