PleaseSleep for Mac

Publisher's Description

From DragonOne:

PleaseSleep is a utility software designed for Mac OS X that helps put your computer to sleep when you know some other app is preventing your Mac from going to sleep.

PleaseSleep sits in the background and waits for the sleep timer you set in Energy Saver preferences pane. Depending on the preferences you set, PleaseSleep will try to put your computer to sleep when the scheduled sleep timer kicks in. PleaseSleep is very easy to configure, you can enable, disable, and access its preferences via the system menu bar icon. You can choose to have PleaseSleep activate the sleep function all the time, or you can tell PleaseSleep to activate the sleep function only when certain apps are running.

What's new in this version:

  • Compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
  • Native 64-bit support.
  • New option to always enable PleaseSleep when it launches.
  • New option to select a different menu icon.
  • New option to monitor energy saver timer with either computer or display sleep timer.
  • New option to reset system activity for better force sleep result.
  • Unix executables now can be added to the exceptions list.
  • Fixed the duplicate entries issue in app lists.

    "Only one problem"

    January 3, 2012  |   By GeneLander

    Version: PleaseSleep 2.1

    Pros

    Does what it says

    Cons

    But doesn't wake from sleep on LAN!

    Summary

    I hoped this would solve the problem of Mac Mini Lion Server not going to sleep. It did. But then it would not wake on LAN. Solving this problem would make it perfect!

    "Does what Apple can't - it lets computers sleep"

    September 17, 2011  |   By SonnyBKS

    Version: PleaseSleep 2.1

    Pros

    PleaseSleep lets my iMac 27" i5 actually sleep.

    After 90 minutes on the phone to Apple Care, they still couldn't fix the problem (and I ended up having to reinstall Lion).

    Cons

    A minor gripe: When you open PleaseSleep, there's no indication its open - except for an icon in the menu bar. Only a problem once. (But I'd rather keep my menu bar clean.)

    Only just installed/no other issues identified.

    Summary

    Sure beats spending hours in forums and on the phone trying to fix the sleep problem.

    This software shouldn't be necessary, but it's great that it's available.
