Lidnight

Lidnight optimizes MacBook operation for continuous computation, allowing tasks to run uninterrupted even with the lid closed and on battery power. Key features include: • Sustained operation with lid closed, on battery or power • Automatic sleep after task completion • Precise tracking of developer tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI) • Remote approval for permission prompts • Integrated battery and thermal management This utility ensures your MacBook remains active only when needed for demanding tasks. It intelligently monitors the activity of over 40 developer tools and local language models, transitioning your Mac to sleep once all processes are complete. This includes sophisticated handling of usage-limit waits, ensuring long-running processes like code generation can complete overnight without manual intervention. Lidnight also provides robust controls for managing system health, incorporating battery and heat protection to prevent overheating or excessive power drain. For enhanced convenience, permission prompts can be approved directly from notifications, a visual indicator by the notch, or securely via your phone with end-to-end encryption (Pro feature). Ideal for software developers, data scientists, and researchers who rely on intensive background computations. It's perfect for scenarios requiring extended process execution, such as compiling large codebases, running extensive simulations, or processing large datasets, all while preserving system resources and user privacy.
