Frequently asked questions
What is NoNap Pro?
NoNap Pro is a native macOS menu bar app for preventing idle sleep, keeping the display on during a wake session, and—through its optional Closed-Lid Mode—keeping tasks running after you close your MacBook.
What is free, and what requires a license?
Prevent Idle Sleep and Keep Display On are available without a trial or license — the free core of NoNap Pro.
Closed-Lid Mode includes a free 14-day trial on this Mac. After the trial, it requires a one-time license—there is no subscription. See Closed-Lid Mode for details.
What if it's not for me?
Try Closed-Lid Mode free for 14 days before buying. If you purchase a license and change your mind, you can request a full refund within 30 days — yourself, from your Lemon Squeezy account. See the refund policy for details.
How is NoNap Pro different from NoNap?
NoNap on the Mac App Store is permanently free. It includes Timed and No Limit idle-sleep prevention plus Keep Display On, runs in the App Sandbox, and has no Pro or purchase features.
NoNap Pro is distributed directly from this site as a signed and notarized DMG. It includes the same free wake controls and adds Closed-Lid Mode, with a 14-day trial followed by a one-time license. Closed-Lid Mode requires narrowly scoped system authorization that the App Sandbox does not allow.
Both share the same core: a native menu bar app built with SwiftUI, using the same underlying macOS sleep-prevention mechanism.
Is Closed-Lid Mode safe for my MacBook?
Yes, with one caveat. NoNap Pro includes battery safety: when the battery drops to a low threshold (20% by default), it exits Closed-Lid Mode and restores the system’s default sleep policy. This is low-battery protection, not thermal protection — full details in Closed-Lid Mode.
Closing the lid while running tasks generates heat — that’s inherent to the hardware, not to NoNap Pro. Keep your MacBook on a hard, well-ventilated surface during extended use, and use common sense regardless of which tool you use.
What are the system requirements?
NoNap Pro requires an Apple Silicon MacBook running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Closed-Lid Mode also requires an administrator account for one-time system authorization.
Intel Macs, desktop Macs without a built-in lid, Windows, and earlier macOS versions are not supported by the current release. The app may open in configurations not listed here, but they are outside the tested and supported scope.
Internet access is not required for ordinary Prevent Idle Sleep sessions. It is required to purchase, activate, deactivate, and manually verify a license. A previously validated license may receive the documented offline grace period.
How do app updates work?
NoNap Pro checks for updates automatically: shortly after launch, and at most once every 24 hours. When a newer release is found, the app flags it with the new version number — download the new DMG from the NoNap Pro page and drag it over the old app in Applications.
You can also check manually anytime from About or Settings → Check for Updates. A manual check explains why it failed if it cannot reach the update feed; automatic checks fail silently and simply retry later. Automatic checks can be turned off in Settings → General.
NoNap Pro never installs anything in the background. Updates only happen when you download and open the new DMG yourself.
