Holdor – Stop your Agents from sleeping

Holdor is a simple application for macOS that helps keep your computer awake when you are running important AI tools. Sometimes, company rules require you to lock your screen when you step away from your computer. However, if your Mac goes to sleep, it can stop these AI tools from working. Holdor solves this problem by making sure your computer stays on while these tools are active, but it still lets your screen turn off to save power.

Benefits

Holdor makes it easy to keep your AI agents running without interruption. It uses a smart system that links to the specific AI tools you are using. When those tools close, Holdor automatically stops keeping your computer awake. This means your computer only stays awake when it truly needs to, and you don't have to worry about losing your work.

Use Cases

This application is perfect for anyone using AI tools on a Mac that need to run for long periods. This includes developers using tools like VS Code or Zed, or anyone using AI assistants like ChatGPT or Claude Desktop. If your company has security policies that require screen locking, Holdor ensures your AI tasks continue uninterrupted. You can add any application you want Holdor to monitor, giving you flexibility.

Vibes

Users appreciate that Holdor is a native macOS app, meaning it is efficient and doesn't use many system resources. Its simple menu bar icon clearly shows when it's protecting your AI agents from sleeping. The ability to monitor multiple applications at once and automatically detect when they start or stop is also a highly valued feature. People like that it remembers their settings and can start automatically when they log in.
