Keeps your Mac awake
while your AI agents work.

Belay keeps your Mac awake while a coding agent is working. When the work stops, Belay gets out of the way and your Mac can sleep normally again.

How it works

Built-in detection for Claude Code, Codex, Cline and Copilot CLI, plus one-click presets for Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Aider and Pi. You can also point Belay at a folder for anything else. Detection stays on your Mac. No account. No telemetry. Belay never sends your prompts or code anywhere.

Helping out

Belay is free, and the code is open. If it saved you a run, a star on GitHub costs nothing and helps other people find it. Bug reports and translations are worth more than money.
