Your Mac sleeps mid-agent-run, mid-download, mid-render. Keepresso keeps it awake exactly when it should, then lets it rest: agent-aware triggers, automation leases, closed-display mode, a headless-Mac toolkit. Free, open source, macOS 14+.
@gyorgysh Voted for this. Open source tools rarely invest in onboarding emails, which is actually an edge if you do, curious if that's on the roadmap.

@alex_iliescu Hey Alex. Not planned, no telemetry, no analytics, no cookies, no user data collection at all. Keepresso is a free open source productivity app, so no real need for an email list.
@gyorgysh That makes sense, no user data to nurture means no reason to build the funnel. Respect for keeping it that clean.

the trigger engine using real power assertions instead of fake mouse jiggles is the detail that sold me. staying awake mid-agent-run is exactly the case the old caffeinate tools never saw coming

@fberrez1 Thank you, I'm glad I wasn't the only one missing this kind of featureset.
Any feedback or suggestions after trying it are very welcome 👍
@Gyorgy that's great to hear, honestly didn't expect a random comment to turn into an actual shipped feature that fast. going to update and try the multi-factor detection, curious how it holds up with something like a long-running build in the background vs an active foreground agent
nice, do u plan to make sth similar for Windows as well?
Using real macOS power assertions instead of fake mouse jiggles, and knowing when to let the Mac sleep again, is such a thoughtful touch that most keep-awake tools miss.

@ilko_kacharov Thanks Ilko! That was the plan, a truly native productivity app that does what you can't really find anywhere else. If you have any suggestions, requests, or feedback, feel free to share. Always happy to hear it.
Fellow Mac indie here, congrats! Menu bar apps that do one thing well are the best kind, and bonus points for open source. Caffeine has been my default forever, so happy to try a fresh take.

@bryanlparker Hi Bryan, thanks! Took a look at Caffeine, you'll feel right at home with some extra flexibility and automations on top. Already got some great ideas from the comments that I'm working on now. If you have any suggestions or feedback, always welcome. Thanks a lot, keep shipping 🙌
