Adrafinil is a macOS menu bar app that keeps the system awake only while AI coding agents have active sessions, releasing sleep control as soon as work finishes. It uses a layered architecture with privilege separation, reference-counted assertions, and agent hook integration, offering a unique targeted alternative to always-on wake utilities.
