DeepSleep is a hibernation utility for macOS that allows your Mac to enter a low-power state without draining the battery. Unlike standard sleep mode, which consumes power gradually, DeepSleep saves the entire system state to disk and stops power consumption completely. When you wake the Mac, it restores all open applications and windows to exactly their previous state. The app includes a launch daemon component that handles the hibernation process at the system level.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">DeepSleep is a helper daemon component of the DeepSleep hibernation utility. This daemon is not a standalone application and cannot be updated separately from the host DeepSleep app. However, based on the available information, the DeepSleep application itself has not received updates since 2016 and there is no confirmed native Apple Silicon build. The vendor's website (axoniclabs.com) shows no evidence of ongoing development or a native build for M-series Macs. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), and DeepSleep appears to be abandoned with no active update path, the Intel-only build will stop working on that release. If hibernation functionality is important to your workflow, you should begin researching alternatives now — modern macOS versions on Apple Silicon hardware have improved power management and sleep modes that reduce the need for hibernation. Check with Axoniclabs directly to confirm whether an update is planned before September 2028, but do not wait too long given the project's apparent dormancy since 2016.
