Three small utilities for
people who leave things running.

Menu bar tools that get out of the way. Everything runs on your Mac — no accounts, no telemetry, and not one of them can open a network connection.

They live in the menu bar

No Dock icons, no windows in your way. A glance tells you what each one is doing.

Readable at a glance

Each icon changes with state — filled while holding, outlined when idle, a warning when something needs you.

Built-in diagnostics

Every app can explain what it sees from the terminal, so a settings problem never gets mistaken for a permissions one.

WakeHold or AFK?

They solve adjacent problems and work well together.

☕

WakeHold is automatic

Always on in the background, inferring from activity whether to hold sleep. You never think about it. It can let go if a process goes quiet.

🔒

AFK is deliberate

You arm it when you walk away. It locks the screen and holds regardless, until the condition you chose. Use it when leaving the machine matters.

What they have in common

Three small tools, one set of principles.

🔌

No network

None ships with the network entitlement. macOS itself prevents them from opening a connection.

🆓

Actually free

No trial, no licence key, no upsell. Nothing to sign up for.

🪶

Light

Universal binaries under 1 MB each, idling near zero CPU.
