Dont Sleep
Dont Sleep is a utility for macOS that prevents your Mac from automatically entering sleep mode, display sleep, or hibernation. It allows users to keep their Mac awake on demand for as long as needed — useful for tasks like long downloads, file transfers, video encoding, presentations, or when leaving a machine unattended but active. The app typically runs in the menu bar and provides simple one-click toggle controls to inhibit sleep without requiring system preference changes.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about Dont Sleep in available search results, so it is unclear whether a native Apple Silicon build has been released. Contact the developer (txtlabs) directly to ask whether they have shipped a native build of Dont Sleep or have plans to do so before macOS 28 arrives in September 2028. If the developer is no longer active or does not respond, note that Dont Sleep will continue to run under Rosetta 2 on current macOS versions, but will stop launching entirely once Apple removes Rosetta support in September 2028. As actively maintained alternatives with confirmed native Apple Silicon support, consider Amphetamine (free, open-source, available on GitHub) or Caffeinate (simple command-line alternative built into macOS that can be wrapped in a menu-bar app). If you find the original developer is still active, an update may already be in progress.
