Close the lid. Keep the work.
Pulsida keeps your Mac awake from the menu bar, even with the lid closed. Builds, downloads and AI agents keep going after you shut the laptop.
Sleeping as usual
Until you stop
Your Mac keeps working with the lid shut. No external display needed.
Normally a Mac laptop goes to sleep the moment you close it. With Closed lid on, the screen turns off and your Mac carries on with whatever it was doing. Slip it under your arm, walk to the meeting, and the work is still running when you open it again.
- Works on battery or plugged in
- Sets itself up the first time, with one password prompt
- Puts sleep back the way it was the moment you stop
Everything happens in the menu bar. Click the icon, choose a time, and your Mac stays awake until it runs out.
Drag the ring to set a time.
Anywhere from 5 minutes to 8 hours, or all the way round for “until I stop”. 30 minutes, 1, 2 and 4 hours snap into place.

Common questions
FAQWhat is Pulsida?
Pulsida is a small menu bar app for Mac that keeps your Mac awake, with or without the display on, and keeps it working even with the lid closed.
Does Pulsida really work with the lid closed?
Yes. Turn on Closed lid and close your Mac. The screen turns off and your Mac keeps working, with no external display needed.
Why does Pulsida ask for my password?
Keeping a Mac awake with the lid closed needs permission from an administrator. Pulsida asks once, the first time you turn on Closed lid, and never again.
What if my battery runs low?
On battery with the lid closed, Pulsida turns closed-lid mode off at 10% and sends you a notification.
Does Pulsida collect any data?
No analytics, no tracking and no accounts. Pulsida only checks your license and looks for updates.
How much does Pulsida cost?
$9, once. No subscription.
