In short

DisplayKeeper Lite is a macOS menu bar utility that keeps a Mac awake during long tasks like downloads, exports, or backups, or keeps the display on for videos and presentations. It offers a timer from one minute to almost 24 hours, plus an option to turn off the displays while work continues. It collects no data and needs no account.

About

DisplayKeeper Lite keeps your Mac awake exactly the way you need — right from the menu bar.

Downloading a huge file, exporting a video, running an overnight backup, or giving a presentation? Click the coffee cup in the menu bar and choose how your Mac should stay awake.

KEEP MAC AWAKE Your Mac won’t go to sleep when idle, but the display can still turn off. Downloads, renders, builds and backups keep running while the screen rests.

KEEP DISPLAY ON The display stays on — ideal for watching videos, following a recipe, reading or presenting.

SLEEP DISPLAYS NOW Turn off every display instantly while your Mac keeps working. DisplayKeeper Lite turns on Keep Mac Awake for you, so nothing stops in the background. Move the mouse or press any key to wake the displays.

TIMER Stay on No Limit, or choose Custom and set any duration from 1 minute to 23 hours 59 minutes. The panel shows exactly when it will turn off — even when that’s tomorrow — and everything switches off automatically when time is up.

DESIGNED FOR MAC • A compact panel in the style of Control Center • The cup in the menu bar fills with coffee while Keep Mac Awake is on • Open at Login and an optional Dock icon • Looks right in both Light and Dark Mode

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no network access, no data collection. DisplayKeeper Lite uses only the public power-management features of macOS and never changes your Energy settings.

GOOD TO KNOW Keep Mac Awake prevents idle sleep. Closing the lid of a MacBook or a nearly empty battery will still put your Mac to sleep, just as macOS intends.
