Download Sleep Aid (Mac) – Download Free

MacBooks save a lot of power by going to sleep when not in use, but there are lots of apps, devices, or settings that can prevent your Mac from sleeping or simply wake it, decreasing battery life without you realizing.

Sleep Aid was designed as a detailed diagnostic tool that analyzes your laptop’s sleep patterns, spots potential issues, and offers solutions. It presents the data in a clear, easy-to-understand calendar format, and it notifies you whenever problems are detected.

When the app is running, it will track when your Mac wakes from sleep, how long it’s awake for, and which processes are causing it. After using it for a while, you’ll see a detailed sleep map in the main window, which helps with identifying patterns.

The Sleep Check function is a quick way to identify immediate issues that are preventing your Mac from going to sleep. Simple solutions are provided, and problematic applications are listed.

In case the problems can be solved by just modifying certain system settings, the app can tweak them automatically when the device enters sleep mode. These include disabling Wi-Fi, disabling Bluetooth, delaying background tasks, pausing Apple Music playback, and running scripts.
