Top 15 SmartSleep Alternative and Similar Softwares | Dec 2024

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.

Features
•QuickSleep feature - sleep your Mac immediately the way you want.
•SmartSleep Menu Item - figure out the current Sleep State and QuickSleep.
•Insomnia feature in Menu Item to keep your Mac awake.
•Timed insomnia. Keep your Mac awake only for a time.
•Five different sleep modes to chose from:
- system default
- smart sleep (if your Mac has a battery )
- sleep only
- hibernate only
- sleep and hibernate
•Does not need admin privileges
•Runs as a application not a preference pane
•Beeps when closing the lid, so you don’t forget that you have insomnia enabled (plugin).
