Afterhours

Afterhours is a macOS menu bar app that keeps your Mac awake while coding agents work, even with the lid closed, and lets it sleep again when the last one finishes. It reads process activity and Claude Code hooks to know when Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor CLI and a dozen other agents are working or waiting, shows the state as steam on a mug in the menu bar, and steps aside on low battery, Low Power Mode or heat. Built in Swift 6 for macOS 14, with no network access.
