Let your agent manage the session
Tell your agent “do not sleep” or invoke the $sleepwalk skill. SleepWalk keeps your Mac awake while it works, then ends the session when the agent is done or a guardrail is reached.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use SleepWalk instead of pmset, caffeinate, or Amphetamine?
Those can keep your Mac awake too, and may already be enough. SleepWalk gives you a native menu bar app with time, battery, and heat limits, optional app cleanup, and a simple way for your coding agent to start and stop a session.
Can an agent start and stop SleepWalk?
Yes. Tell it “do not sleep” or invoke the $sleepwalk skill. It can start a bounded session when needed and stop the one it started when its work is done.
Why not use a cloud task?
If the work already lives on your Mac, keep using its local files, tools, and credentials instead of moving the task to the cloud.
Which agents work with SleepWalk?
Any local coding assistant that can run commands and use a Markdown skill. The menu bar app also works on its own.
Can I close my MacBook lid?
Yes. Enable Background Access in Settings → General, then start a session before closing the lid.
Can I put my laptop in my backpack?
Keep your agent working while commuting, but make sure your Mac has room to ventilate. Set a thermal guardrail and SleepWalk will stop its session if macOS reports that your Mac is getting too hot.
How does the thermal guardrail work?
Choose Warm, Hot, or Critical. SleepWalk stops the session when macOS reports that level.
What happens when a limit is reached?
SleepWalk stops keeping your Mac awake. Your agent can continue working until it finishes or macOS sleeps.
Does SleepWalk monitor my code or prompts?
No. SleepWalk does not read your code, prompts, windows, logs, or network traffic.
Is SleepWalk a subscription?
No. Try it free for 7 days without a credit card, then pay once if you want to keep using it.
