Keep the Mac awake
The display may still turn off on its normal schedule.
Kipless · macOS utility
A small menu bar utility for temporary sleep control. Keep a download, build, render, or local server running without changing how your Mac sleeps for good.
Closed Lid
Kipless can keep your Mac running even when the lid is shut — useful for long downloads, builds, renders, and services that should not stop when you step away.
Three ways to stay awake
The display may still turn off on its normal schedule.
For dashboards, reading, presentations, and visible work.
Uses a small background Helper after one-time approval.
For exactly as long as you ask
Choose 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or Until stopped. Quitting Kipless ends the current session too.
Made for the in-between moments
Quiet by design
Kipless is native Swift and SwiftUI software built to stay out of the way. It has no analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or advertising. The Direct edition includes optional Sparkle update checks and goes online only when you manually check for updates or enable automatic update checks.
