Sleep Timer counts sleep cycles, taking into account the average time needed for a person to fall asleep (it is 14 minutes). With this app you can find out when to go to bed, if you need to wake up at a certain time or when to Then, in just one click, you can set up an alarm to wake up at the right time.

This was not from the app store. Here is what the website says about this app extension. Close your MacBook without putting it to sleep Projects consists of kext and userspace tools that help to manage sleep behavior. NoSleep makes closing of your MacBook lid possible without going to a sleep mode. Now you shouldn't have to plug your mouse and monitor to stay computer awake - just activate it by clicking a menu bar icon or check a tick in the System Preferences and continue downloading huge files and watching favorite movies over the network with lid closed. The reason I've created this project is to share my 'No Sleep' utility with you.
When I've switched to mac the main disappointment was that there was no option to set an action to do than a lid is closed. Feel free to submit issues or feature requests. I can see how that would happen.
I did read several reviews of this and all seemed to be positive towards it though. One of the issues I read is that when moving it the drive could move and be damaged but being it is flash memory it should not happen that way. Also is a mac different then a windows laptop? I ask because i do not know grin. I did used to leave my laptop closed all the time with no damage to it.
or to post comments #5 The fan is actually on the Submitted by KE7ZUM on 13 February, 2015. I have also been wanting to be able to close my mac without it going to sleep. I looked for that option in the settings and failed to find it. Now I know why. I did not even think my Mac had a fan, because when I turn it on I do not hear any fan sound and can feel no air blowing from anywhere on the computer.

When I turn on my windows pc, there is a fan sound and air comes out the left side. However, my windows computer getts very hot very fast even with the lid open even with its fan and my Mac which I thought had no fan stays cool. I would like to be able to close the lid and leave the Mac on so I can have the Mac in front of me and my Apex on top of it so I can use my Apex to control my Mac without having to put the Apex beside the Mac because I find reaching over awkward.
I also don't like the Apex infront of me and the Mac beside it, because then when I need to use the keys on the Mac to do something I can not do on the Apex,I again have the reaching over problem. On my windows computer, I have the Apex on top of the computer and just lift the lid if I need to quickly hit some keys on the computer keyboard.
My desk is not the kind with the tray under it for the keyboard. So, how long do you think it is safe to use the Mac with the lid closed and is there an app to monitor the temp of your Mac and tell you when it gets too high? I know there is on windows. However, not even sure if the Mac has the proper hardware for measuring temp. or to post comments #8 No offense but. Submitted by zfryer on 5 March, 2016.everything everybody said so far is incorrect. Your mac is designed to work just fine with the lid closed.
It's called clamshell mode, and it's documented and supported by Apple. If you plug in a usb keyboard and external display, you can wake up an apple notebook by pressing any key on the keyboard, and it will behave just like a desktop machine. Closing the lid does not obstruct the vents on your machine. Because of the design of the hinge, when the display is open air will blow upwards. When the display is closed, air blows straight out the back. Convection cooling is hampered when the lid is closed, so you will notice the temp sensors doing their job and kicking the fan up to a higher rpm - but that's a good thing.
or to post comments #9 where is the link? Submitted by Nikki on 28 December, 2016. OK, I had a use for this where I did not want me computer to sleep ever (even with the lid open, even on batteries.) I was remote accessing the machine and needed it to be sure not to sleep. I can say that this utility works for that. HOWEVER, regardless of the switch setting, and regardless if the app is running or not, and now even uninstalled, my computer will no longer sleep under any circumstances.
Even using the sleep menu under the apple menu, no joy. I now have to shutdown to travel with my computer. I am hoping Matthew you are still following this thread. How the heck do I get the sleep function back?
Anyone have any ideas? That said, DO NOT INSTALL THIS on 10.12. You may be sorry. MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB Memory, 1 TB SSD drive, MacOS 10.12.2 - UPDATE: I did a very deep search of my machine, which has a lot of software on it. I finally found 'Do Not Sleep.app' hidden way down in the system starting at startup.

Made it difficult that the app was not named the same. Deleting this app, rebooting has returned sleep to my machine. Just in case anyone else has this issue. or to post comments.
To use Screen Time and set up iPhone time limits, you need to be running iOS 12 on your device. IOS 12 is available for iPhones as far as back as iPhone 5s, iPads including iPad Air, and the sixth-generation iPod touch. You can go to Settings - Software Update if you aren’t yet up-to-date. On an iPhone or iPad running iOS 12, open Settings and tap on Screen Time. The Screen Time page acts as a hub for all different types of time limits, content restrictions and activity overview.
You can set an iPhone time limit called Downtime, which restricts usage of your entire device on a daily time schedule. You can also be more granular and add time limits for specific apps. Unfortunately, if you tap the App Limits button on the screen, Screen Time will ask you to select categories of apps to apply limits to. You can pick categories like Social Networking, Productivity, or Games which encompass many installed apps into a group. It’s not immediately obvious how to set an iPhone time limit for a specific app How to set an iPhone time limit for a specific app From the Screen Time homepage, Do not tap on the App Limits icon. Instead, tap on the graph at the top of the screen. This will show you every app that you have used recently.
You can change the bar at the top to see stats for today’s or the last week. Scroll this list until you find the app that you want to add a time limit for.
(You can press Show More to see more than just a few of the most-used apps.) In this example, I am going to limit the time I spend on my iPhone and iPad watching YouTube. Tap the app name, in this case ‘YouTube’. It will tell you statistics like the average amount of time spent in this app per day. Tap the ‘Add Limit’ button at the bottom of this screen. You are now adding a time limit for just this app.
Time limits apply to every device on the same iCloud account. If you press the Edit Apps button on this view, you can add more individual apps into the same bucket of time.
Scroll the picker to select a duration, and you can even be more granular and select a different iPhone time limit for every day of the week. When you are done, press Add in the top right hand corner. The time limit is now enabled for just the specific app you chose. How does the App Limit work With an iPhone time limit active, the operating system will count in the background how long you are using the app. For apps like YouTube, time is counted when you use the YouTube website in Safari or the YouTube app. When the limit is reached, the home screen will be greyed out. Attempting to use the app will display a full-screen overlay that says your Time Limit has been reached.
You cannot use the app when this panel is visible. As an individual, you can press the Ignore Limit button if you want to give yourself some extra time — obviously this feature needs some self-restraint. You can disable the time limit for today, or add an extra 15 minutes if you just need to finish something you were doing. How to set a time limit for my kids Adding an iPhone app limit for your children is almost the same process as described above. The only difference is on the homepage of Screen Time, scroll down to see the ‘Family’ section. Tap on the child you want to add iPhone app limits for, and then you will see a nearly-identical set of screens with data for your child. You can then set an app limit by following the same steps above.
For a child, when their time is up with an app, they cannot simply press Ignore Limit. Instead, they can request extra time. If requested, an alert pops up on the parent devices asking to allow the additional time. This request can be granted or denied. Note: All Screen Time features for families require Family Sharing to be set up.
