Awakado
Product Hunt Tony Hou
Awakado is a Mac menu-bar app that keeps your machine awake for AI coding tools. It can also wake your Mac after Claude Code’s usage limit resets, which is a very specific kind of helpful.

Product Hunt’s latest launch is Awakado, a Mac menu-bar app built for people leaving Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or Cursor running in the background. Its job is simple: keep the Mac awake while the work is happening, then let it sleep when it’s done. That sounds small until you’ve watched a machine nod off in the middle of a long run for no good reason.
The free version covers the basic “stay awake” part. The Pro version goes further, keeping the Mac awake even with the lid closed and waking it when a Claude Code usage limit resets. That last bit is very specific, and that’s exactly why it feels like a real utility instead of a generic power-settings app.
Awakado is tagged as a developer tool, an artificial intelligence product, and a menu bar app. Product Hunt lists it under launching today, with free options available. The pitch is narrow, but the use case is clear: let the AI tool keep working while the laptop stops trying to be polite about going to sleep.
There’s no grand promise here, just a small piece of software aimed at a very modern annoyance. And those are often the best launches on Product Hunt: not a revolution, just one fewer thing to babysit.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is the right kind of AI utility: boring, narrow, and immediately understandable. The market has enough grand promises; what people actually buy are tools that stop Macs from getting cute at the worst possible moment. The real trend here is not autonomy, it’s cleanup after autonomy.
