#Nosleep for mac os pro#

You may need to buy the pro version to enable all of the features, though.Welcome to Amphetamine, the most awesome keep-awake app ever created for macOS. It also has triggers just like Amphetamine. It lets you keep your MacBook awake even with the lid closed.

Sleep Control Centre ( App Store) - Sleep Control Centre is a good Amphetamine alternative.

We only recommend it for people with older MacBooks running older macOS versions. Unfortunately, this is now abandonware, so it’ll never get another update. It keeps your MacBook from sleeping, and it should work with the lid closed.

InsomniaX ( Github) - InsomniaX works a lot like Amphetamine.

Some folks say that it’s hit or miss with the lid down, but it is a listed feature. It helps keep your MacBook away with a simple on/off switch, and it can also trigger based on an action you define.

Amphetamine ( App Store) - Amphetamine is available in the Mac App Store.

We’ll list them and quickly tell you their pros and cons. There are several good third-party apps that can help you out with this. It seems a bit complicated, but to be honest, it only takes a few seconds once you get used to it. That includes the Mac App Caffeinated, which uses the Caffeinate commands. However, the caffeinate command doesn’t seem to work with the display closed or off the charger. Caffeinate is designed to replace the pmset command we use above.

Note - People sometimes recommend the caffeinate commands in Terminal.

This makes it easy to do this over and over again without needing to visit us every time.

Pro-tip - You can hit up on the arrow keys to re-enter previous commands.

#Nosleep for mac os password#

Enter your password or passcode if prompted.

To re-enable sleep, type sudo pmset disablesleep 0 and hit enter.

Enter your password or passcode when prompted.

In the terminal, type sudo pmset disablesleep 1 and hit enter.

Open Launchpad and search for Terminal.

Thus, it is the more powerful option overall and it’s the one we recommend if you’re away from your charger. The nice part is that it works without the MacBook being plugged in. This does the same thing as the System Preferences method but from the command line. As always, there is a Terminal solution for advanced users.
