I have been using the builtin macOS `caffeinate` command for this. For example: caffeinate -dimsu That keeps the Mac awake so I can use Claude remotely from phone. You can also wrap your command as well, but I rarely use it. caffeinate -dimsu your-agent-command

The new wave apps named after speed / modifinil must be hard core?

At some point, if you closed the lid and didn't have an external monitor plugged in, macos would put the GPU in power save mode, which would tank local llm performance. Is that not the case any more? There were even small singles you could get which would trick the ps into thinking an external monitor was plugged in

I don't think this is for running local llms.

So now we're naming apps after obscure Modafinil derivatives?

I'll take credit for starting this trend :P https://github.com/narcotic-sh/modafinil

There were mac apps called caffeine and amphetamine years ago.
