My Mac won't go to sleep (after a crash or uninstall)

AgentBarista's optional lid-closed mode uses a macOS power setting called disablesleep (pmset disablesleep 1). The app always switches it back off — but if the app crashed, was force-quit, or was deleted while that setting was on, your Mac can be left unable to sleep. Two ways to fix it:

  1. Reopen AgentBarista. If a leftover sleep block exists, the panel shows a one-tap warning that restores it. The Emergency Restore button in Settings also clears it.
  2. Or run this one line in Terminal (it asks for your password): 
    sudo pmset -a disablesleep 0

To check it worked, run:

pmset -g | grep SleepDisabled

SleepDisabled 0 means normal sleep is restored.

Uninstall completely

  1. Quit AgentBarista from the menu bar.
  2. Drag /Applications/AgentBarista.app to the Trash.
  3. Optional — remove local data: ~/Library/Application Support/AgentBarista, ~/Library/Logs/AgentSleepGuard.log and ~/Library/Logs/AgentBarista-runs.log. Nothing else is installed.
  4. If your Mac still won't sleep afterwards, run the Terminal line from the section above.
