LidRun keeps your Mac awake with the lid closed — so Claude Code, Cursor, Docker and Ollama keep running with timers, charging-only mode, low-battery stop and battery/thermal guardrails.

Install LidRun Free with Homebrew — the macOS menu-bar app that keeps AI agents and long-running dev jobs alive on a Mac even with the lid closed (clamshell), with battery + thermal guardrails so nothing cooks or drains.

macOS menu-bar app + CLI that keeps a Mac fully awake while the lid is closed

Lock your Mac and turn off the display in one click — right from the menu bar.

Keep your Mac running with the lid closed to maintain background tasks, AI workloads, and server processes without interruption.
