Walk away. Your Mac keeps working.

AI agents that run for hours

Your agent stopped at step 3 of 40. Your Mac fell asleep.

You give Codex, Claude Code or Gemini CLI a big job and walk away. With no one typing, macOS thinks you've left and puts the Mac to sleep. The agent stops mid-task, and you only find out in the morning.

Start a session that covers the whole job, or link it to your terminal or editor so it ends when you quit that app. Some agents keep the Mac awake on their own, but only while they're working. Awake Qubit covers the whole Mac: the agent, the builds and tests it starts, and whatever runs after.

Good to know: Awake Qubit keeps your Mac awake. It doesn't watch your agent or know when a task is done. Closing the lid without an external display still puts your Mac to sleep.

Builds, tests and local AI models

Your build needs 40 minutes. Your Mac won't wait that long.

Big builds, full test suites and local model runs take time. Step away, and you come back to a sleeping Mac, an unfinished job and no idea when it stopped.

Start a session for as long as the job needs, or leave it on until you turn it off. Afterward, a timeline shows when it started, when it was extended and whether anything cut it short.

Renders, exports and big uploads

Your export is at 90%. Your timer just ran out.

You guessed two hours. It needed three. Now you're at dinner and your Mac is about to sleep.

Link the session to the app doing the work, and your Mac stays awake until that app quits. Need more time? Add an hour from your iPhone (Pro). On battery, it stops on its own before the battery gets too low. Free alerts warn you about overheating, low battery or a full disk.

Good to know: Closing the lid without an external display still puts your Mac to sleep. Leave it open for overnight exports.

Presentations, demos and screen sharing

Never type your password in front of the room again.

Talks, workshops, livestreams, wall dashboards, demo Macs. The screen dims mid-talk, or the Mac sleeps during a long call, and everyone watches you log back in.

One click before you start keeps the screen on, not just the Mac. Turn on Mouse Wiggler and the cursor moves a little while you're away, so the screen never looks abandoned. No extra permissions needed. With Pro, Smart Pause stops your timer from counting down while you're presenting, and you can add time from your phone without walking back to the laptop.

Good to know: Mouse Wiggler only moves the cursor. It won't make your Mac think you're active, keep your chat status green or stop the screensaver.

Overnight backups, syncs and migrations

If your Mac sleeps tonight, the backup doesn't happen.

A backup or migration has to finish tonight, on a Mac in another room, floor or building.

Keep it awake until a set time or battery level, and check on it from your phone. You'll know whether your command went through: you get a confirmation, or a heads-up that the Mac couldn't be reached while it retries. Lock the screen remotely so an unattended Mac isn't left open all night. Every action is logged with the device it came from.

Good to know: Remote commands only work while the Mac is awake and the app is running. Your phone can't wake a sleeping Mac. This version controls one Mac.
