A macOS utility that keeps your Mac awake while AI agents like Claude Code work and automatically lets it sleep when they finish.
Night Crew is a macOS menu bar utility that automatically keeps your Mac awake only while AI coding agents are actively working, even with the lid closed. When the agent finishes, it lets your Mac sleep normally. It supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI with zero setup for Claude Code and one-click hooks for others. The app includes lid mode to keep working on battery, activity history tracking, and a detailed journal of sleep and wake events. It includes battery floor and heat guards to protect your hardware.

Without a licence, Night Crew stops watching agents, lid mode turns off, and Keep Awake stops, so your Mac sleeps on its normal schedule again. You can add a licence key at any time and everything carries on as it was.
One key covers 2 Macs. You can deactivate a Mac any time in Settings › Licence, or from Polar's customer portal if you no longer have that Mac.
Night Crew never keeps your prompts, code, or chat text. It only keeps event names and times, session IDs, project folder names, and scheduled-run times. There is no analytics, and data does not leave your Mac except for a daily update check, a small signed status file, and a weekly licence check once you've bought.
Yes, with lid mode. You approve a small helper once in System Settings that can only turn sleep off and back on. By default it works on the charger only. Allow battery and it stops at its own 30% floor, or when your Mac gets warm.
No. It holds the Mac awake only while an agent is working, plus a 60-second grace that you can set from 0 to 10 minutes. A 24-hour cap ends any hold that runs too long.
