SleepHoldService

May 26, 2025 · View on GitHub

A lightweight macOS service that prevents system sleep when the lid is closed.

System Requirements

macOS 12+
Administrator privileges for installation

Installation

Run the following command in Terminal:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lakr233/SleepHoldService/HEAD/net_install.sh)"

Uninstallation

To remove SleepHoldService from your system, run:

# Stop and unload the service
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/launched.sleepholdservice.plist

# Remove files
sudo rm -f /Library/LaunchDaemons/launched.sleepholdservice.plist
sudo rm -f /usr/local/sbin/SleepHoldService

# Re-enable sleep mode manually
sudo pmset -a disablesleep 0

Third-Party Integration

This service integrates seamlessly with Sentry. When Sentry is activated, SleepHoldService automatically prevents sleep mode.

For developers, see main.swift for network request implementation. Create a session and make extend requests as needed. Call terminate when finished or let it expire naturally.
