Keep your machine awake. Like caffeinate, but with more kick.
A tiny Rust CLI that prevents your computer from sleeping. Works on macOS, Linux and Windows.

brew install riza/tap/cocaine

cargo install --git https://github.com/riza/cocaine.git

Download the latest binary for your platform from Releases, extract, and put it in your $PATH.

cocaine [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]...

By default (no flags), cocaine prevents idle system sleep indefinitely until you hit Ctrl+C.

cocaine can run as a background daemon, keeping your machine awake without occupying a terminal.

# Start the daemon (default: prevent idle sleep)
cocaine daemon start

# Start with display-on and a 2-hour timeout
cocaine daemon start -d -t 7200

# Check if the daemon is running
cocaine daemon status

# Stop the daemon
cocaine daemon stop

The daemon writes a PID file to ~/.local/share/cocaine/cocaine.pid (Linux/macOS) or %APPDATA%\cocaine\cocaine.pid (Windows).

# Prevent idle sleep until Ctrl+C
cocaine

# Keep the display on
cocaine -d

# Keep the display on for 1 hour
cocaine -d -t 3600

# Prevent all sleep types
cocaine -d -i -s

# Keep awake while a command runs
cocaine -d -- make build

# Keep awake during a long download
cocaine -s -- curl -O https://example.com/big-file.tar.gz

cocaine uses native OS APIs on each platform to prevent sleep:

Assertions / inhibitors are automatically released when cocaine exits -- whether that's through Ctrl+C, a timeout, or a child command finishing.

# macOS
pmset -g assertions

# Linux
systemd-inhibit --list

# Windows (PowerShell)
powercfg /requests
