Capsomnia turns Caps Lock into a physical switch that keeps your MacBook awake. Keep Claude Code, Codex, other AI agents, SSH sessions, builds, downloads, and more running after you close the lid. If Caps Lock is already assigned, choose another shortcut. The Caps Lock light still shows whether Capsomnia is active. The app is free and open source, signed and notarized. No accounts or telemetry. We’ve already seen strong interest in Japan: 2.3M+ views and 6,000+ downloads.
Congrats on shipping this! Using Caps Lock as the switch is such a nice call, no menu bar clutter and nothing new to remember. Did you land on Caps Lock straight away, or try a few other keys first?

That’s exactly the reaction we were hoping for! 😅
Brilliant repurposing of the most neglected key on the Mac keyboard, and using the Caps Lock light as a live status indicator is a genuinely clever touch.

Thank you! The Caps Lock key was hiding in plain sight and its indicator light made it feel like a tiny built-in status LED. Glad you liked the idea!
Love it, want it, using it!
