Coffee for your Mac.

Morrow keeps your Mac awake — display, disk, the whole machine, your call. Lives in the menu bar, takes one click, leaves nothing behind.

Five ways to refuse to sleep.

Each menu item is a single click. Pick a mood, get back to work.

Disturbance

A light dose. Stops the machine from going to idle sleep — the screen can still dim. Perfect for long downloads and background jobs.

Insomnia

A double shot. Keeps display, disk and the whole system wide awake. Use it for demos, dashboards, and long sessions.

Deprivation

The full pot. Maximum vigilance — nothing sleeps until you say so. For overnight renders, training jobs and unattended work.

Stay awake…

Punch in a number, pick seconds, minutes, hours or days. Morrow turns itself off the moment the timer ends.

Wait for…

Tie wakefulness to a specific running process. When that process exits, Morrow goes back to bed.

Preferences

Two switches. Launch at login as a proper macOS Login Item, and remember the active mode across reboots.

How it works

1

Lives in the menu bar

A small cup-and-steam icon next to the clock. No Dock entry, no Cmd-Tab clutter.

2

One click, one mode

Pick a mood — Disturbance, Insomnia, Deprivation, or set a timer. A checkmark tells you what’s on.

3

Cleans up after itself

Quit Morrow and every awake-keeping process exits with it. No daemons, no lingering state.

Install & first launch

Morrow is ad-hoc signed (no Apple Developer fee), so macOS asks for permission the first time you open it. Just once.

2

Move into Applications

Unzip and drag Morrow.app into /Applications.

3

Right-click → Open

Confirm in the dialog once. After that Morrow launches normally from the menu bar.
