App Being Added

Keep Mac Awake

A menu bar app with a keepmacawake command that keeps a MacBook awake with the lid closed, for a session the user starts. It is a paid app (free for 3 days, then 9 USD once per Mac) distributed outside the Mac App Store as a signed and notarized installer package. It requires a Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 26 or later; there is no Intel build.

Disclosure: I'm the maker (Bart Dudzic).

Open Questions and Pre-Merge TODOs

• Keeps list alphabetical (System Tools, between Karabiner-Elements and Keka).
• Matches Standard App Line Format.
• App status is clearly stated.
• Status is at most 80 characters.
• App status is consistent with already used verbiage.
• Mentions supported App version in App Status (as of v1.0.5).

The website link carries UTM tags so I can see visits from Does It ARM; happy to switch it to a plain https://keepmacawake.com/ if you prefer.
