System Stats
Live battery, CPU, RAM, temperature, and fans at the top of the menu — icon, value, label. Missing sensors hide automatically. Toggle in Settings.
v1.9.0 · macOS 13+
Keep your Mac awake
with the lid closed
ClamKeep lives in the menu bar. Wake Mode holds the system, the display, and auto-lock — then you can re-enable Display Sleep or Auto Lock as exceptions. A live system-stats dashboard sits at the top of the menu.
Features
Everything at a glance — plain language, no power jargon.
Wake Mode
Everything at once: keeps your Mac awake with the lid closed, keeps the screen on, and delays auto-lock. On enable those holds are automatic; on disable the whole session ends. Shows ON / OFF.
Display Sleep
Manual exception. ON — screen can turn off while Wake Mode is on. OFF — screen stays on (default on every new session).
Auto Lock
Manual exception. ON — Mac can lock after idle. OFF — delayed (default on every new session). Manual lock (⌃⌘Q) is always immediate.
Don't Sleep During Downloads
Standing policy: holds wake for download processes and recent activity in your Downloads folder.
Don't Sleep While Active App…
Keeps wake on while a selected app runs. When it quits, only that reason is cleared.
Auto-off Timer
5–60 minute presets or custom hours:minutes. The menu header shows a live countdown.
Wake reasons
manual / downloads / watched app — one source ending does not cancel the others.
Extras
EN / RU / KK, launch at login, show/hide system stats, five icon styles, universal binary, passwordless helper.
