SleepPilot for Mac · last updated 11 November 2026

SleepPilot is a menu bar app that keeps your Mac awake when you ask it to, and shows which apps keep your Mac awake when it should sleep. This page explains, in plain terms, what it does with your data.

Nothing leaves your Mac

SleepPilot has no account, no servers, no analytics and no ads. It does not connect to the internet. We never receive any data from it.

What SleepPilot looks at, on your Mac only

• Power assertions: the list macOS keeps of apps that are preventing sleep (the same list pmset -g assertions shows), to tell you which app keeps your Mac awake.
• Running commands: the names and start times of commands running in Terminal, so you can choose one to wait for.
• Your Downloads folder: only the names and sizes of the files at its top level, to tell when a download has finished. SleepPilot never opens or reads the files themselves.
• Battery level and power source: to stop keeping the Mac awake when the battery runs low.
• Time since your last keyboard or mouse input: a number of seconds, to know whether someone is using the Mac. SleepPilot does not record what you type or click.

The night notes

To show the “Last night” report, SleepPilot writes down when your Mac goes to sleep and wakes up, and once a minute which apps keep it awake, the battery level and the idle time. These notes stay in SleepPilot’s own folder on your Mac and are deleted after 30 days. Deleting the app removes them.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, SleepPilot shows them through macOS on your Mac. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else.

This website

sleeppilot.shop has no cookies, no analytics and no third-party scripts. Like any web server, ours keeps standard access logs (IP address, page, time) for security; they aren’t used for anything else.

Children

SleepPilot is a general utility and doesn’t collect data from anyone, children included.

Changes

If SleepPilot ever starts handling data differently, this page will be updated first, with a new date at the top.
