AwakeBar app icon

It knows when your agents
are actually working.

AwakeBar lives in your menu bar, reads your Claude Code and Codex sessions, and holds your Mac awake for exactly as long as the work runs.

$ brew tap rasrescodes/awakebar && brew install --cask awakebar

One glance. Worst state wins. Who is working, who is stuck waiting on you, what it is costing, all read from the transcripts. No toggle to forget.

All the OS can see.Forty-eight things running. Every keep-awake app stops reading here: stay on, or don't.
Holding awake for a reason.Mid-edit, running tools, burning tokens. This is the work worth protecting.
Burning your night.Stuck on a prompt hours ago. Identical to busy, to everything but AwakeBar.
Gone in the dark.Crashed while the Mac stayed awake for nothing. You would have found out at breakfast.
THE GUARD

It never lets a run die halfway.

Battery floor, thermal backstop, and memory-pressure guard. The moment the Mac is about to die, AwakeBar force-releases and records it, so the runway warning is credible the next time. The founding bug, a 52-hour orphaned assertion, is structurally impossible here.
