LidAwake – macOS menu‑bar app to keep your Mac awake with lid closed
It solves the problem of keeping a Mac running while the lid is closed, which normal sleep would stop. A tiny Swift menu‑bar app reads pmset and toggles the disablesleep flag via sudo without prompting each time, installed with a simple script. It targets macOS users who need downloads, builds, or audio to continue when the lid is shut, offering a visual toggle better than using caffeinate or manual pmset commands. The tool is lightweight, self‑contained, and avoids background daemons or pre‑built binaries.
