Engineers running Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex lose long agent runs to Macs that fall asleep mid-task. Multiply that across your team and it's real, recurring time lost. AgentBarista fixes the sleep problem on every engineer's Mac, and each Mac keeps its own honest number for what it kept awake.

Right now, every engineer on your team is manually keeping their Mac awake, or quietly losing runs to sleep. AgentBarista turns that into a number: hours of agent time kept awake, on each Mac that runs it. The org-wide rollup people ask for next would need a server layer we have decided not to build this year — so today this is a per-Mac number and a conversation, not a dashboard.
We don't have a published case study yet — when a team shares real before/after numbers, they go here instead of placeholders.
Auto-detecting an agent and keeping a Mac awake is solved, and it works the same on one Mac or forty. The team layer above it is mostly not built yet. Here is the honest inventory.
The honest version: each Mac keeps its own record of agent activity and kept-awake time, lid-open and lid-closed counted separately. Rolling that up across an org needs a server layer, and we decided against building one this year rather than keep it on a roadmap. If that rollup is the thing you actually need, tell us — it is the strongest argument for changing our mind.
Three separate things, and only one of them works
today. Pushing the app: yes — it is a standard signed, notarized .app, so Jamf,
Kandji, Mosyle or Intune distribute it like any other. Licensing each Mac from the same profile:
built, but we have never verified it against a real MDM push, so plan on entering the key once
per Mac until we have. Lid-closed mode: no — holding a Mac awake with the lid shut needs an
admin approval no configuration profile can grant on your engineers' behalf, so it means a password
prompt on that Mac when lid-closed mode first engages; normally once per app launch, though it can
be asked again if the watchdog has to be restarted. Releasing never prompts — a root watchdog
started by that approval hands the Mac back on its own, so nobody is woken at 3am to type a
password.
Every setting is per-Mac today: which agents count, power profiles, idle grace. Pushing one default set to a fleet needs the same managed layer central deploy needs, and it is not built. Setting defaults across a group today means doing it by hand on each Mac.
There's an opt-in mode that holds sleep off with the lid closed, so a run continues while the Mac sits locked. Three honest conditions: it's off by default, turning it on needs an admin password on that Mac, and we have not measured how long a lid-shut Apple-Silicon Mac lasts on battery — so we won't promise you an overnight run. Also, to be exact about who does what: macOS locks the screen on your own schedule. We don't lock anything and don't claim to.
There is no separate team SKU. Every Mac runs the same AgentBarista Personal License — $19/year, billed annually, for 1 Mac. Teams buy the 5-Mac Pack ($129/year, flat), or several of them. $19/year, locked in for as long as you stay subscribed. Cancel any time. Sales tax/VAT and invoicing are handled by Lemon Squeezy as merchant of record.
AgentBarista never opens your files. To tell a working agent from a finished one it looks at process command lines and CPU, at the names and modification times of your agents' session files, and — only if you grant macOS Accessibility permission — at the on-screen text of the agent apps you enable and of the terminals we support. Two of those can contain your own words: a command line includes any prompt you pass on it, and on-screen text includes whatever is visible in that window, your code included. Both are matched against status phrases on your Mac and discarded on the spot: never stored, never sent. Nothing about your work leaves your Mac — no file contents, no code, no prompts, no file names, no activity data. Your stats and settings stay on this Mac. The app contains no analytics or telemetry of any kind. Its network calls are two: license validation, sent to our payment provider, Lemon Squeezy — activating a license sends your license key and your Mac’s name, and the routine check after that sends your license key and an anonymous instance id, nothing else — and an update check that fetches the new-version list from agentbarista.com, sends no personal data, and can be turned off in Settings. That's true for every seat. If we ever build that org-wide rollup, activity reporting would be a separate, clearly labeled opt-in for enrolled team Macs — never silent, and still never file contents.
Individuals and teams buy the same thing: the AgentBarista Personal License, $19/year for 1 Mac. Teams buy the 5-Mac Pack — or several of them. $19/year, locked in for as long as you stay subscribed.
