Restless: apple watch app to keep you awake. Posted by 2 years ago. It shows up in the Apple Watch apps store. Original Poster 1 point 2. I've been using Caffeine to keep the computer awake, but it also keeps the computer unlocked which is insecure. I need a method to keep my Mac awake (so that Dropbox can sync overnight) but also locked (so no one can read my email). It'd be great if this method also turned off the screen (to preserve power), but honestly that's not even 100%. If your Mac goes to sleep unexpectedly. Make sure that Energy Saver is set up the way you want.
This lighthead software’s app will keep your Mac awake as long as its running OS X 10.6 or later. This insomniac app is available in the Mac Appstore absolutely FREE of cost. NO SLEEP: This is it! This is the mother of all insomniac apps out there in the Mac Appstore. That is why this is not available in the Appstore, but outside. The safest place to download apps for your Mac is the App Store. If you need third-party software for your Mac, and it isn’t available in the App Store, get it directly from the developer or another reliable source, rather than through an ad or link.
Lungo prevents your Mac from falling asleep and your screen from dimming.

– Doing a presentation at work
– Watching YouTube videos in non-fullscreen mode
– Cooking and having the recipe open on your computer
– Reading a long article without scrolling
– Using the screen to view live stats
– Monitoring progress on a long-running task

Information
Sometimes we need to keep our Mac Pro laptop running when it’s lid closed. There are so many reasons for that, like downloading large data from internet, copying data internally, using any system utilities or ongoing installations etc. So far all Mac OS X, including Mavericks and Mountain Lion do not support this as a built-in feature to disable sleep when lid is closed. Here is a simple tool/tip helps to keep MacBook Pro laptop awake while lid is closed.
It’s called NoSleep. It’s a small free package which you can download and install it easily. An icon will show up on the OS X menu bar where you can control the option to keep your Mac Pro laptop awake while lid is closed either on battery or AC power.
