What’s new

Nightlid checks for updates automatically (or use Check for Updates…). Older versions keep working forever.

1.0.0 — October 2026

[Placeholder — final notes at release.] First public release.

• Keep a MacBook awake with the lid closed — on battery, without an external display — from the menu bar, ⌥⌘L, timers (30 min – 8 h or until stopped), nightlid:// links or the nightlid CLI.
• Auto mode: stays awake while Claude Code or Codex is working (via hooks) or a watched process runs, plus a grace period.
• nightlid run -- <command>: keep awake exactly while a command runs.
• Safety: battery floor with forced sleep, emergency floor in the helper, thermal cut-off, only-on-power and Low Power Mode options, maximum session length; normal sleep returns within ~90 s if the app stops.
• Session history with the reason each session ended; notifications.
• English and Czech. macOS 14 or later, Apple Silicon and Intel.
