Buyer questions

What is AfterLid?

AfterLid is a native Mac menu-bar app that keeps downloads, renders, backups, dev servers, remote-access sessions, and local AI work running under explicit power and safety limits. It manages your Mac's availability but does not run or take over the work itself.

Can Always On run indefinitely?

No. An Always On session ends after eight hours, at 30 percent battery while unplugged, under serious or critical thermal pressure, or if the app heartbeat disappears. AfterLid then restores normal sleep behavior.

Does AfterLid upload my work or provider credentials?

Work runs on your Mac and provider credentials stay there. Enabled Activity features relay sanitized status and supported approval details, which can include bounded file changes for review.

What is included in Free and Pro?

Free includes all three Mac modes, every Mac safeguard, one provider usage connection, saved characters, and read-only iPhone status. Pro adds remote mode control, all supported provider connections, and tools to create or import character packs.

What happens when I close my MacBook lid?

In Sleepy or Awake, closing the lid keeps normal Mac sleep behavior. Choose Always On before closing the lid when local work must continue with the display off. Battery, thermal, heartbeat, and session limits remain active.
