Hold My Lid keeps a Mac awake while AI coding agents run
Hold My Lid is a Mac app that keeps the computer awake while AI development tools are still working. It is meant for people who leave running while they are at the office or traveling. A Mac command called pmset can also stop sleep, but forgetting to turn it off can drain the battery completely.
The app has two modes. One mode keeps the Mac awake based on active AI agents, and the other watches a battery limit set by the user. It sends a notification when an agent finishes a task or when the battery drops below the chosen level.
It also includes a basic sleep-prevention feature when the lid is open. It supports Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Open Code, Cline, and Gemini, and the early price is $9.99 for a on 3 Macs.
