I wrote a small caffeine-like macOS command-line utility to keep your MacBook awake when you close the lid.

This can be handy when you have a long running task active but need to close your MacBook – for example to change trains, head home from a café or commute to the office.

Small purposeful utilities like this are Glob's own gift to us. Your counterpart in my Windows world might be the guy who wrote AlwaysActiveHours - a util that prevents update-related reboots.
