Keep your MacBook alive & kickin’

Had enough of your company laptop locking itself while you read the document? Ever trained ML models on your laptop and realized the process was cut short?

Instead of wiggling your mouse every few seconds, just install Owly!

Owly is a small application for MacOS that you can download through the App Store, and its entire purpose is preventing your monitor from going to sleep.

Just choose the amount of time you want the Mac to stay awake, and get your CPU to keep on crunching those neural networks for you while you grab a cuppa.

Disclaimer: I don’t get any royalties from the app, I just enjoy it.

Thanks for reading. Hope you found it useful! See you next week.
