Turns itself off at low battery or high heat
While your Mac works with the lid closed, Pulsida watches the battery and the temperature, and lets your Mac sleep when the battery runs low or it gets too hot.
- Closed-lid mode turns off at 10% battery
- And if your Mac gets critically hot
- You get a notification whenever this happens
- Normal sleep comes back if Pulsida ever quits unexpectedly
- Low battery
- If your Mac is running on battery with the lid closed and drops to 10%, Pulsida turns closed-lid mode off so your Mac can sleep normally, with enough charge left to wake up again.
- Too hot
- A closed laptop has less airflow. If your Mac gets critically hot, Pulsida switches closed-lid mode off and lets it cool down and sleep.
- A good habit
- Keep your Mac on a desk or another open surface while it works with the lid closed, never in a bag or under a pillow.
