LidRun

LidRun is a specialized runtime for macOS designed to keep development tasks and demanding applications active even when the MacBook lid is closed. Key features include: * Closed-lid task continuation for applications like Claude Code, Cursor, Docker, and Ollama * Configurable timers for managing active sessions * Charging-only mode to prevent battery drain * Low-battery auto-stop and thermal guardrails for hardware protection * Comprehensive activity log for transparency This utility ensures that long-running processes, code compilations, and data processing jobs continue uninterrupted. It provides a more robust and safety-conscious alternative to basic wake locks, monitoring crucial system parameters like battery level and internal temperature to prevent overheating or excessive power consumption. When predefined safety thresholds are met, LidRun gracefully releases its hold, allowing the Mac to return to its natural sleep state. LidRun is built for software developers, data handlers, and researchers who depend on continuous operation of resource-intensive applications on their Mac devices. It is ideal for scenarios where a Mac needs to remain active for extended periods without constant supervision, such as remote builds, background data processing, or running specialized local models. It ensures productivity without compromising device longevity or energy efficiency.
