I’ve been following the development of this program for years, ever since it changed names twice. And after all these updates… it still doesn’t stay awake while rendering!
I’m sick of having to use zhorn’s “caffeine” all the time. I know it’s not my OS because I recently installed it fresh on new hardware. Come on. It’s like when a video game doesn’t hide the cursor. It’s such a simple quality of life feature that’s glaring when missing. Honestly, I’m not sure how anyone else gets their rendering done, assuming that they don’t just torture their setups by completely disabling sleep.

The app does not have access to override your system to stay awake if the system is set to go to sleep after a certain time. This is not something that has been setup within the permission structure of the app with the OS.
If you are running a long process, setting the computer to stay awake and not sleep is the recommendation. We can add it to the list for feature requests to the devs to see what options there are in the future, I know this has been requested before but has not made it into the app’s yet.
I’m not convinced of that since video players and Handbrake do these things without higher permissions. Don’t think of it as overwriting the sleep, think of it as creating a power request during the duration of jobs.

I will pass along that feedback and request to the team to see if that is doable.
