PleaseSleep for Mac prevents open applications from holding up a computer's sleep settings. The application is easy to set up and works well to allow the energy saver setting to be followed.

After installation, the free program adds a small icon to the top menu bar. The application also alerts the user that the screensaver, depending on the settings, can interfere with the program's operation. It then asks if the user wants to go to the preferences menu to disable the saver, which can be done with a button in the program window. There are no full menus to speak of, but clicking the icon brings up a drop-down menu. This includes an option for enabling the program, as well as accessing a preferences menu and the main energy saver screen for the computer. In the preferences area, the user can change the launching preferences, as well as the appearance of the icon. The window can also be changed to appear as a floating panel. PleaseSleep for Mac did work well during testing and allowed the computer to sleep without any problems.

PleaseSleep for Mac is suitable for users who have applications that keep their computer from sleeping. The program works well and includes some useful options to help users configure it.

Developer’s Description

Forces your Mac to sleep if something's keeping it awake.
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.
