About This App

Energy Saver Helper is a launchDaemon component of Parallels Toolbox for Mac that manages the Energy Saver feature. Energy Saver is a battery-optimization tool included in Parallels Toolbox that extends Mac battery life by temporarily disabling non-essential background processes like Spotlight indexing, App Store update checks, and Time Machine backups when the Mac is running on battery power. It can also hide idle applications, enable App Nap mode for background apps, and eject external devices to reduce power consumption.

Energy Saver Helper is a sub-component of Parallels Toolbox for Mac, not a standalone app. It cannot be updated separately. To update this helper to a native Apple Silicon version, you need to update Parallels Toolbox itself through Parallels' official update channel. If you have Parallels Toolbox installed, open the app and check Help → Check for Updates, or visit parallels.com to download the latest version of Parallels Toolbox for Mac directly. Parallels Toolbox has been confirmed compatible with Apple Silicon M1 and newer Macs since version 6.5 (May 2023), with ongoing native builds released through version 7.1 (June 2025). The Energy Saver Helper will automatically be updated to the native build when you update Parallels Toolbox to the latest version.
