InsomniaZ - Never Sleep
macOS / Utilitaires
Your Mac sleeps when you need it most. InsomniaZ fixes that.
Close your lid, walk away, start a download — InsomniaZ keeps your Mac awake no matter what. No complicated settings. One click in your menu bar and it just works.
Why people love InsomniaZ
You close your MacBook to carry it to a meeting — and your download dies. You step away from your desk for coffee — and Teams marks you "Away." You connect an external display and close the lid — and everything goes black.
InsomniaZ was built for these exact moments. It sits quietly in your menu bar, ready when you need it. Turn it on, forget about it.
What it does
• Prevents sleep when you close the lid — with or without an external display, plugged in or on battery
• Keeps running even when you plug in or unplug the power cable while the lid is closed
• Timed sessions: set it for 15 minutes, 1 hour, or 8 hours — it turns itself off so you don't have to remember
• Indefinite mode for when you need your Mac awake all night
• Global keyboard shortcut to toggle instantly from any app
• Advanced mode that keeps productivity apps from detecting you as idle
Designed to disappear
InsomniaZ lives in your menu bar. One click to turn on, one click to turn off. A beautiful concentric circles icon tells you the status at a glance — color when active, subtle when off. No dock icon. No windows to manage. No clutter.
Built for reliability
Under the hood, InsomniaZ uses multiple layers of sleep prevention working together. If one method fails, the others have your back. It re-establishes protection automatically after your Mac wakes from forced sleep. This is the most reliable sleep prevention you can get.
Your privacy is absolute
InsomniaZ collects nothing. No analytics, no tracking, no network calls. Everything happens locally on your Mac. Period.

What users are saying:
"I am a student who wants to pursue post-graduate education and I am very particular about what softwares and apps I use to ensure maximum efficiency. This app allows me to use clamshell mode without hooking up a power source and is definitely on my list of GREAT APPS!"
"I didn't think this was possible! Took my laptop to a cafe with fast internet, started a download, started the app and then put the laptop in my bag. Download finished fine."
"Super easy to use."

What's New
Display Mode — Thanks to Gianluca for this one! Many of you use InsomniaZ to keep your Mac working with the lid closed — for
music production, long renders, or background tasks. Previously, the screen stayed on even with the lid shut. Now you can
choose:
- On — Screen stays on (great for presentations and monitoring)
- Auto — Screen can sleep while your Mac keeps running (perfect for closing the lid and letting your work continue)
Switch between modes instantly from the menu bar. No restart needed.
