Insomnia is an open-source macOS menu bar app for timed awake sessions on Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 26 or later. It keeps a MacBook awake when its lid is closed, turns off the display and keyboard backlight, can freeze selected applications, mute audio, enable Low Power Mode, and optionally join a configured iPhone hotspot. A recovery journal records each change before it is made, while a launchd recovery agent attempts to undo session changes after a crash or missed end time. It can also nudge selected tmux panes running coding agents after a network outage. The project warns that recovery can fail and that a running timer is not a safety guarantee; installation adds a recovery agent and a sudoers rule. It is distributed under the MIT license.
