I kept running AI agent sessions (Claude Code, Codex) and having to either prop my laptop open or type sudo pmset disablesleep every time I wanted to step away.
Closing your lid to sleep your Mac is one of the best things about macOS and Awayke doesn't want to change that. It's an occasional override. Toggle on, close lid, walk to the next room, come back, toggle off.
Amphetamine has this feature but it's buried 3 menus deep, and it is not great when you're grabbing your bag mid-task.
So here it is, a native Swift menubar app with one toggle. Orange = lid-close sleep disabled. White = normal behavior restored.
It works by using a one-time SMAppService helper so pmset runs as root silently after the first approval, which means no sudo prompt is needed on every toggle.
