About KeepingYouAwake
KeepingYouAwake puts a simple control for preventing sleep in the menu bar. Activate it for a preset duration or leave it running while a long task or presentation needs your computer to stay awake.
It uses the sleep-prevention facilities built into macOS. It does not keep a MacBook awake with its lid closed.
