Check a file with shasum -a 256 Maben-Awake.dmg in Terminal; it should print the SHA-256 shown above.

Install

  1. Open the disk image and drag Maben Awake into the Applications folder.
  2. Open Maben Awake from Applications. A moon appears in the menu bar and Settings opens on the AI tab.
  3. Click Connect next to each agent you use, and next to the awake command if you use scripts. The list shows the agents set up on your Mac. Codex asks you to trust new hooks once: run /hooks in Codex.
  4. Click Lid closed in the menu once and enter your password, so the Mac can stay awake with the lid closed.

Requirements

Mac
macOS 13 Ventura or later, Apple silicon or Intel. The closed-lid features need a MacBook.
AI tools
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, Qwen Code, Droid, Devin, Augment or Kiro for automatic use; anything else through the awake command.
Other platforms
None. Maben Awake works with macOS power management, sleep and app freezing directly, so there is no Windows, Linux or phone version.

Updates

Maben Awake updates itself. It checks GitHub for a new release at start and every 6 hours, and installs it while the lid is open and no agent is working; Settings › General has an Update button and both switches. Every update is checked for the Maben signature and Apple's notarization first. What changed is in the changelog.
