A tiny menu-bar “keep awake” app for macOS.

• Menu bar icon + menu toggle (Enable/Disable)
• Duration (Indefinitely / 15m / 30m / 1h / 2h)
• Option to allow the display to sleep (disable “Keep Display Awake”)

Under the hood it uses native macOS power assertions:

• Prevents idle sleep while enabled
• Optionally prevents display sleep
• Supports a timed duration that automatically disables when it expires

• Clicking the menu bar icon turns it on or off.
• Right clicking shows the context menu letting you change duration and other settings.

From the repo:

cd Barista
./scripts/build_app.sh
open dist/Barista.app

By default this builds from source and installs into /Applications.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PortableSheep/Barista/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

If you don’t have an Apple Developer account (no signing/notarization), the local build install is usually the smoothest option:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PortableSheep/Barista/main/scripts/install.sh | INSTALL_METHOD=source bash

Optional (downloads the latest prebuilt zip from GitHub Releases):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PortableSheep/Barista/main/scripts/install.sh | INSTALL_METHOD=release bash
