insomniMac is a tiny macOS menu bar app for keeping your Mac awake on demand. It has no main window and no Dock icon. It lives in the menu bar, where one click toggles idle sleep prevention on or off.
finally something that does one job without a giant window popping up. the menu bar toggle feels just right and it actually stays out of my way.
Finally a no-fuss option that actually does one thing well. The menu bar toggle feels right at home next to my other utilities, and the lack of a Dock icon is a nice touch.
this is super handy, been looking for something simple like this for ages. one thing that would make it even better for me is letting me set a default state at startup, like always start in "keep awake" mode so i never forget to toggle it on before long renders
