The Problem

You ask your coding agent to refactor your codebase. It's going to take 10 minutes. You close your MacBook lid to grab coffee...

**💀 Mac sleeps. The agent stops. Work lost.**

The Solution

Install this tool. Your computer stays awake while your agent works; normal sleep resumes when it finishes. On macOS, it can also keep working with the lid closed and provides local speech-to-text dictation. Windows prevents automatic idle sleep and respects the configured lid and power-button actions.

Before (macOS)	After (macOS)
😴 Lid closed = Mac sleeps	☕ Lid closed = agent keeps working
🔄 Come back to interrupted work	✅ Come back to finished work
