Sleep your Mac differently depending on the battery level.

Your MacBook or MacBook Pro knows the following sleep states:

• sleep machine will go to sleep only (saves state in RAM only, battery keeps RAM contents)

• hibernate only machine will go to hibernate only. (saves state on disk, battery will not be used)

• sleep & hibernate machine sleeps and hibernates. (default)

Just sleep means that the notebook will go to sleep fast, but you lose the ability to change the battery as the battery is needed to keep the contents of the memory (RAM).

Just sleep and hibernate will wake the computer fast, but sleeping will take ages as the contents of the memory are saved to disk before entering the sleep.

SmartSleep lets you select each sleep state. Additionally the new SmartSleep state lets your notebook just sleep while the battery has a high level. If the battery level drops below a certain point (default is less then 20% or 20 minutes) it will switch to sleep and hibernate. So you have the best of both worlds. Furthermore it will expand the lifetime of your SSD (if you have one) as your MacBook won’t write a hibernate file as often.

• QuickSleep feature New — sleep your Mac immediately the way you want.

• SmartSleep Menu ItemВ New — figure out the current Sleep State and QuickSleep.

• Insomnia feature in Menu Item New to keep your Mac awake.

• Timed insomnia. Keep your Mac awake only for a time.

• Five different sleep modes to chose from:

— smart sleep (if your Mac has a battery )

— sleep and hibernate

• Does not need admin privileges New

• Runs as a application not a preference pane New

• Beeps when closing the lid, so you don’t forget that you have insomnia enabled (plugin).

Requirement: Mac OS X 10.6.6 and higher, 10.7 — 10.10.

Clamshell Insomnia plugin

Beginning with version 3.06 SmartSleep now supports the SmartSleepInsomnia Plugin. As soon as you install this plugin, the Insomnia mode will keep your Mac awake even if you close the lid.

The old AppStore version does not run correctly on lion due to a bug in lion. Apple does not allow me to update the AppStore version as the workaround for the bug requires admin privileges and is therefore not allowed in the AppStore.

Instructions for installation are as following:

Install the AppStore version. If this fails read the next paragraph.

Run the AppStore version — this will copy the appstore license into your Library folder.

Quit the AppStore version.

Remove the AppStore version located in /Applications.

Download the Website version.

Copy the Website version to /Applications.

Start the Website version.

New Application Icon, Uninstalling the old version 2.x

Btw. if you remember the old Application icon -В That has changed lately. If you are using an old version (prefPane) you need to uninstall the old version before installing the new one. This is due to some bug in the AppStore installer:

NoSleep 4+

Prevents sleep & screen saver

Limit Point Software

Screenshots

Description

Keeps your Mac awake for specific or indeterminate amount of time with option to also disable the screen saver.

NoSleep is an application that you use to prevent your Mac from going to sleep.

In ‘no sleep’ mode there is an option to also disable the screen saver.

1) The purpose of NoSleep is to keep the Mac awake so you can read the screen while not otherwise actively using the Mac.

2) It is not a menubar app. It is a regular app that appears in the Dock.

3) Will not prevent a laptop from going to sleep if the cover is closed to prevent overheating issues.

Visit our website for other information and a demo.

This app was conceived for musicians who use their Macs to read music as they play their instrument and consequently do not want their Mac to go to sleep.

What can NoSleep do for me?

It keeps your Mac awake for a given period of time. NoSleep updates system activity periodically as soon as it launches, until it is quit, or, for laptops, the battery charge level drops below a specified amount (which defaults to 10%)

As soon as you launch NoSleep it prevents your Mac from sleeping until quit, or the battery charge level drops below a specified amount . You can schedule the time it quits so that you can leave it unattended. Do this in Preferences.

Use the Preference pane to specify quit time.

Also use the text field on the preferences window for creating a timer to quit the app at a time you can specify as a (fractional) number of minutes. The timer is created as soon as editing stops in the text field, say by tabbing out of it, and each edit resets the timer. If the value of the text field is zero no such timer is created, and any previous such timer will be removed.

Finally, in preferences you can specify a battery threshold so that NoSleep stops keeping the Mac awake at a certain level. This helps prevent the Mac from running out of energy when unplugged.
