Keep Awake is a Mac menu bar app that stops your Mac from going to sleep while you need it up, so long-running agents, builds and downloads finish.
The app has no accounts, no ads, no tracking and no third-party SDKs. The only thing it sends is anonymous usage analytics, described below.
Starting with version 1.0.1, Keep Awake sends a small number of anonymous usage events to our own server, so we can see whether the app works and where people get stuck. An event records which screen was shown (the menu bar or the subscription screen) and the steps of the subscription flow (the subscription screen was opened, Subscribe was tapped, and whether the purchase succeeded, was cancelled, is pending or failed, or whether Restore found a subscription). Each batch also carries the app version, the platform, whether it is an App Store, TestFlight or development build, and the country derived from the connection.
Events are grouped by a random session id that is created each time the app launches and is never saved, so one launch cannot be linked to the next. We do not collect any device identifier, advertising identifier, name, email, Apple Account, or anything about what you keep your Mac awake for. Your IP address is looked at only while an event arrives, to tell our own test machines and automated traffic apart from real use, and is never stored. The data is not linked to you, is not used for tracking, and is not shared with or sold to anyone.
Events are sent over HTTPS to yourtechresume.com, a server run by the same developer as this app, not a third party. They are deleted after 45 days.
Keep Awake is sold as a monthly subscription through Apple's App Store. The purchase, the free trial and any renewals are handled entirely by Apple using your Apple Account. We never see your payment details or your identity; the app only receives an anonymous receipt from Apple that says whether the subscription is active.
Only your settings: whether the display should stay on, whether the app launches at login, and the current keep-awake state. These live in the app's own local storage and are removed when you delete the app.
The app is not directed at children and collects no personal data from anyone.
If this policy changes, the updated version appears on this page with a new date above.
