On the Mac

Small enough to forget.

Lives in the bar.
Keeps the work moving.

01 / Getting started

Set it up.
Then step away.

A small setup for a little more freedom.

macOS

  1. 01

    Make yourself at home.

    Download dsmn, move it to Applications, and open it. You’ll find it in the menu bar.

    Get dsmn

Omarchy

  1. 01

    Hand it to your agent.

    Paste the prompt, or run the command. You’ll find the pulse in the bar.

02

Give it the go-ahead.

Approve the helper. dsmn installs the hooks. The lid can stay closed.

Confirm it when Omarchy asks. Install the hooks in Settings if you want agents to renew the timer.

03

Leave the run to it.

Agent activity renews a timer. When it ends, the machine can sleep. Stop ends it sooner.

02 / Good to know

A few things
before you go.

When does it go back to sleep?

When the timer reaches zero, or when you press Stop. Agent work can add about 20 minutes. It does not stack on a longer timer. On a Mac the helper lets go. On Omarchy the sleep lock is a process, and it exits with the timer. Another app can still keep the machine awake on its own.

What about the lid?

On a Mac, yes, once you approve the helper. Close the lid and the run continues. On Omarchy the lid still sleeps the machine until you confirm that in Settings. The screen can still lock on both.

Why does the Mac app need a helper?

macOS will not keep a closed laptop awake without permission. The helper holds that permission and releases it when the timer ends. The Omarchy plugin does not have one. It asks the system, and the request ends when the process does.

What about the battery?

The lock lets go at 20% while unplugged, after 15 minutes with no network, and at 8 hours no matter what. A desktop has no battery, so that rule simply does not apply.

Which tools?

The Mac app needs macOS 13 or later. It works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Pi, T3 Code, Conductor, and cmux. The Omarchy plugin works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Grok, and Pi.

Is it free?

Yes. The Mac app and the Omarchy plugin. No account and no subscription. Made by Nom de la société.

Go on. You’ve got things to do.

Your next break
is on us.

macOS 13 or later. Omarchy, on the bar. Free, always.

Omarchy

Paste this to your agent. It installs the bar plugin and stops before hooks.

Install the dsmn plugin on this Omarchy machine.

Read https://github.com/nomdelasociete/omarchy-dsmn before enabling it. It runs unsandboxed inside the shell.

Run:
omarchy plugin add https://github.com/nomdelasociete/omarchy-dsmn.git --enable

Do not edit logind, and do not install agent hooks. I will do that from the dsmn panel if I want them.

Tell me when the pulse is on the bar.

Or run it yourself.

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/nomdelasociete/omarchy-dsmn.git --enable

A little more time.

Choose a duration for the menu preview.

From 1 to 720 minutes.
