I built a desktop app that keeps your Mac awake only while you're physically in front of it and lets it sleep the second you walk away.
I wanted to fix the way macOS sleep works. It's so dumb; it drove me a bit crazy having to touch it every time to avoid the screen dimming and Mac sleep.
Linger only works if you are in front of your Mac. It keeps your Mac awake only while you're physically in front of it. You enrol your face once; only you keep it alive.
@agustinustheoo thanks, I have updated the app logo to the next release. It will match the screenshots. Was in the flow and wanted to focus on shipping a first version π π
It's called Linger because your Mac should stick around exactly as long as you do. Do you want your computer to know you are in front of your screen and not go to sleep? Done. Do you want it to stay awake because your agent is working? You can also lock it in "Always on" mode.
Give it a try (it's free for a limited time!) and leave a review if you can!

And it recognises YOU, specifically. A coworker walking past your idle screen won't keep it awake. You enroll your face once; only you keep it alive. (Hold up a photo? Worst case your Mac stays awake. It's power management, not a vault.)
The trick: it doesn't film you.
While you type or click, the camera stays OFF. Only when input goes idle does it grab a single frame to check "still there?", then powers the camera right back down. Zero cost while you work. Pennies of battery while you read.
@claudeai@ClaudeDevs you have a CORS issue with your @hubspot form to register for the code-with-claude livestream event. Worth checking it out, it does block users trying to register.
