Capsomnia: Keep Your Mac Awake via Caps Lock

Toggling your Caps Lock key is now a way to prevent your MacBook from sleeping, even when you close the lid. This is a surprisingly lean solution for anyone who needs their machine to keep running background tasks—like long renders or server deployments—without having to dig through System Settings or install heavy-duty power management software.

The utility is straightforward: it maps the "awake" state to your Caps Lock key. It effectively solves the frustration of a Mac going to sleep the second the lid drops, which usually kills your AI workflow or stops a local LLM agent from completing its run.

If you want to set it up, the process is minimal:
1. Download and install the app.
2. Grant the necessary accessibility permissions in macOS System Settings.
3. Toggle Caps Lock when you need the system to stay active.

For those of us who frequently run headless setups or use the Mac as a temporary server, this is far more intuitive than keeping a window open or messing with caffeinate in the terminal. It's a small, single-purpose tool that does one thing perfectly.
