32-bit app warning

About the app

macOS version built with Catalyst

Ready for Apple Silicon

macOS version has a universal binary & runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs.

Ready for Windows on ARM

Windows version has a native ARM64 binary & runs natively on Windows ARM devices.

Description

Prevents display from sleeping by using FACE DETECTION and other sensors.

HOW IT WORKS

When the display is about to dim (due to keyboard and mouse inactivity), Should I Sleep will start its sensors. Camera, microphone all other software processing will stay on for only about 3 seconds. After that (and depending on your sensor preferences), sleep will be allowed or prevented. No need to touch any button.

A HEURISTIC APPROACH

Currently available sensors are Face Detection, Camera Motion, Sound Activity and External Display. The combination of sensors means that sleep can be automatically prevented in any of the following situations:

  • Someone is facing the computer
  • A moving target is captured by the camera
  • Someone is talking close to the computer
  • An external display is plugged-in

FEATURE SUMMARY

  • Sleep prevention with unique heuristic sensors
  • Timer mode for display and screensaver prevention
  • Face detection - the most effective sensor - free
  • Additional sensors available as affordable in-app purchases
  • Blazing fast, 3-second, hardware-accelerated detection
  • Mountain Lion's notification center integration
  • Sensor sensitivity and accuracy fine-tuning
  • Modular development approach (more sensors on the way)
