Choosing a keep-awake duration in BoltBurz

Use BoltBurz from the menu bar to keep your Mac awake indefinitely or for a fixed 5, 15, 30, or 60 minute session.

BoltBurz runs as a small menu bar app. Click the bolt icon in the macOS menu bar, then choose how long you want your Mac to stay awake.

The available sessions are Keep Awake Indefinitely, Keep Awake for 5 Minutes, Keep Awake for 15 Minutes, Keep Awake for 30 Minutes, and Keep Awake for 1 Hour.

When you choose a timed session, BoltBurz automatically disables itself when the selected duration ends. For ongoing work, choose the indefinite option and disable it manually when you are done.
