MacRest shows you which apps are preventing your Mac from going to sleep and lets you quickly put the system to sleep or kill the offending process.
I’ve been keeping my computer on for years, letting it go to sleep automatically. Yet sometimes it refuses and I have to hunt down the app that’s blocking sleep.
With MacRest, finding those apps is much easier. After launching it, a small menu bar icon will display the exact process or application that’s preventing sleep.
From there you can force the Mac into sleep or suspend the troublesome process for a while.
Occasionally you’ll also see notifications indicating that a particular app may block sleep. From that notification you can choose to allow or permanently block the app.
