Holdor – Stop your Agents from sleeping - Your Mac stays awake. Sleep is for humans, not agents.

Hey PH! 👋 Holdor started with a weird observation: a few days ago I noticed more and more people in our office walking around with their laptops. Not to a meeting. Just... wandering. This was new. Turns out they were running AI agents in Claude Cowork or other apps and didn't dare put their laptop down — because closind the lid or locking the screen (as per company policy) kills the agent mid-task. So they were physically carrying their machines around the office to keep them awake. That image stuck with me. People taking their hardware with them so their AI could do its job. It felt backwards. Holdor fixes it. It's a tiny macOS menu bar app that watches for Claude, Terminals, Visual Studio Code or tons of other apps and blocks system sleep while an agent is running — screen still locks, security intact, but your agent keeps going. The moment Claude closes, your Mac sleeps normally again. The name is a nod to Hodor from Game of Thrones. It holds the door open. That's literally all it does. Would love to hear if others ran into the same problem — and happy to answer any questions! 🚪
