Built for the work that can't stop mid-run
Your Mac sleeps the moment you close the lid
An agent mid-task, a Docker build, a model download. Close the lid to move rooms and macOS suspends all of it. The old fix is to force the Mac awake and hope it does not cook itself or drain to zero.
LidRun keeps the work running only while conditions stay safe, then steps in before your hardware does.
Traditional keep-awake apps keep your Mac awake. LidRun keeps your AI work running safely.
Three steps, then close the lid
Install LidRun
Drag the app in, grant the one permission it needs, paste your license key.
It detects your work
LidRun spots Claude Code, Cursor, Ollama, Docker and dozens more, and holds the Mac awake while they run.
Close the lid, keep going
Move rooms or drop it in a bag. The run continues until it finishes or a safety threshold trips.
Built-in safety, not reckless wake-locking
Every keep-awake decision is gated by battery and heat. LidRun is designed to reduce risk on long-running tasks, not ignore it.
Low battery warning
Get a heads up before the battery reaches the edge, on device and by push.
Auto sleep at critical battery
When charge drops past your threshold, LidRun lets the Mac sleep instead of dying.
Thermal watch
Continuous read of thermal state so a hot run does not go unnoticed.
Smart cooling modes
Thermal-aware cooling profiles that respond as the workload heats up.
Activity log
A clear record of what ran, for how long, and why a session ended.
Session timer
Cap a keep-awake session to 1, 3 or 8 hours so it never runs forever.
See exactly what your Mac is doing
A calm menu-bar readout of the one thing that matters: is my work still running, and is my hardware still safe.
