MacVibe

**Close the lid. Your AI coding agents keep working, and your battery stays healthy.**

Keep your MacBook awake with the lid closed while **Claude Code**, **OpenAI Codex**, **Gemini CLI**, **opencode**, **aider** and other AI agents code. No external monitor needed. A native macOS menu bar app with Liquid Glass, and it turns itself off when your agents finish, the battery runs low, or the Mac gets hot.

Why MacVibe?

You start a long Claude Code or Codex task, close your MacBook, and put it down. When you come back, nothing got done: **macOS sleeps the moment the lid closes**. `caffeinate`, "Prevent automatic sleeping" and most keep-awake apps only stop *idle* sleep. The lid still wins, unless you have an external display, keyboard and charger plugged in (clamshell mode).

MacVibe keeps the Mac awake with the lid closed **only while it's useful and safe**:
