Built to stay out of your way.

BoltBurz is a refined macOS utility tailored for professionals who work across multiple systems and need precise control over their Mac’s behavior. Quietly operating from your menu bar, it ensures your machine remains awake and responsive during critical workflows-whether you're monitoring secondary systems, managing processes, or waiting on long-running tasks to complete.

Built with a dual-layer strategy, BoltBurz leverages native macOS power management APIs alongside minimal mouse movement simulation to effectively prevent system sleep and idle timeouts. This ensures both system and display responsiveness without interfering with your active work.

The app is privacy-first by design: it collects no telemetry, no analytics, and no user data of any kind-your experience remains entirely on-device and under your control.

BoltBurz is free on the App Store, and we welcome your suggestions for new features and improvements. It's engineered for simplicity, trusted for reliability, and built to serve your focus-no sleep, no surprises.
