Publisher's Description
From Jinx.de:
Sleep your Mac differently depending on the battery level. Your MacBook or MacBook Pro knows the following sleep states:
- sleep machine will go to sleep only (saves state in RAM only, battery keeps RAM contents)
- hibernate only machine will go to hibernate only. (saves state on disk, battery will not be used)
- sleep & hibernate machine sleeps and hibernates. (default)
Just sleep means that the notebook will go to sleep fast, but you lose the ability to change the battery as the battery is needed to keep the contents of the memory (RAM).
Just sleep and hibernate will wake the computer fast, but sleeping will take ages as the contents of the memory are saved to disk before entering the sleep.
SmartSleep lets you select each sleep state. Additionally the new SmartSleep state lets your notebook just sleep while the battery has a high level. If the battery level drops below a certain point (default is less then 20% or 20 minutes) it will switch to sleep and hibernate. So you have the best of both worlds. Furthermore it will expand the lifetime of your SSD (if you have one) as your MacBook won't write a hibernate file as often.
What's new in this version:
- QuickSleep feature - sleep your Mac immediately the way you want.
- SmartSleep Menu Item - figure out the current Sleep State and QuickSleep.

"Just purchase this app ..."
Version: SmartSleep 3.0
Pros
I'll write as soon as I'll have some insight about it
Cons
Please change the "sleeping beauty" menubar icon - a moon with zzz but not that face. I give presentations in front of 200 students with my mac and sincerely I don't feel comfortable with this big and childish icon in my menubar ... thanks
Summary
I'll give more detailed summary in a couple of days - I give 3 stars since I must give some grade
Thanks for giving me the option to switch the icon - the little moon is very nice. Aside from that the application does what it promises and allow to hibernate/sleep according to my wish or according to the battery level.
