Holdor is a free, open-source macOS menu bar app that prevents sleep while Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and other AI coding agents are running. Lock your screen, walk away, agents keep working.

@__tosh Winter is coming for those not embracing AI!
this solves a genuinely annoying problem - had claude code lose progress mid-run because the screen locked and the terminal session dropped. lock screen shouldn't interrupt a running agent but it does. does it detect agent activity automatically or is it always-on while the app is open?

@mykola_kondratiuk it’s always on when the specified app is running. Not sure if there’s a way to detect this. Any idea on that?
one approach could be watching CPU usage - when claude code is actively running tasks it spikes pretty consistently. poll it every few seconds and only prevent sleep when usage is above a threshold. probably simpler than trying to parse process state

Congrats on launching, and great name. What's the vision behind it?

@peterbuch unblocking my colleagues at work - both humans agents.
Found it ridiculous to always take the laptop with you. While we investigate more robust solutions for the future (eg Mac minis with laptop remotely connecting to it) I thought solving the problem software side sees to be the obvious choice.
I work on a Mac and always use Caffeine for this, but it would be awesome if it was native when I need to work. When the agents finish their tasks, Caffeine doesn't stop, so this is actually a good idea if it can be done. Thanks for the product, I think it looks really cool.
