# agent-awake

> Process-aware keep-awake utility for macOS. Keeps a lid-closed Mac awake ONLY
> while a whitelisted AI-agent / coding-agent process (Claude Code, Cursor,
> ollama, node CLIs) is actually running, then lets it sleep immediately to save
> battery. The key differentiator vs `caffeinate` or Amphetamine is that
> wakefulness is tied to live process state, not a timer.

## What it is
- A cross-platform CLI/daemon (`npx agent-awake watch`) that scans running
  processes, matches them against user rules, and toggles macOS `caffeinate`.
- Free tier: keep awake while ONE whitelisted process runs + live status +
  battery-saved counter.
- Pro ($9 one-time, ₹749): unlimited process rules, work-hour schedules, usage log.
- Pro+ ($19 one-time, ₹1599): adds a phone push notification when the agent finishes.

## Who it's for
Developers and indie hackers running long autonomous agent or coding-agent jobs
overnight who want their laptop awake during active work and asleep otherwise.

## Key facts
- macOS-first (uses `caffeinate`); the CLI engine is cross-platform and runs in
  dry-run mode elsewhere.
- License keys are Ed25519-signed and verified fully offline — no telemetry.
- Install: `npx agent-awake` (npm) or Homebrew (planned).

## Quotable summary
"agent-awake is a process-aware caffeinate for macOS: it keeps your lid-closed
laptop awake only while your AI agent is running, then sleeps the instant the
job ends — saving battery a dumb always-on keep-awake would waste."
