SleepGuard: Sleep Monitor
Know exactly
what's keeping
your Mac
from sleeping.
SleepGuard lives in your menu bar and shows you every process blocking sleep, in real time. See the culprit. Quit it. Done.
See it. Stop it. Sleep.
Real-time monitoring
Every sleep blocker visible at a glance: process name, PID, reason, and how long it's been running.
One-click quit
Terminate any blocking process directly from the popover. No Activity Monitor needed.
Sleep history
Charts showing which apps blocked sleep most today, this week, this month, or all time.
Smart notifications
Get an alert the moment a process starts blocking sleep, so nothing slips past you.
Menu bar only
No Dock icon. White when clear, orange when blocked. Always available, never in the way.
Private by design
Everything stays on your Mac. No analytics, no cloud, no account required.
Privacy
Nothing leaves your Mac
SleepGuard reads process names and sleep assertion data directly from macOS. This information never leaves your device. There are no servers, no cloud sync, and no external connections.
No account required
You don't need to sign up, log in, or provide any personal information. Download it and it works. That's it.
No analytics or tracking
We don't use any analytics SDKs, crash reporters, or telemetry tools. What you do with your Mac is your business.
