About Downshift

I have a MacBook Air that lives in my backpack. I only use it once every couple of weeks, usually when a job requires me to work away from my desk. The worst thing is opening it right when you need it most and finding it at 0% I’ve found that shutting it down instead of leaving it in sleep mode gives you at least twice as much standby time. If you have a similar use case and don’t want to pay $13/year for PowerManager, you came to the right place This PowerManager-style app automatically shuts down your Mac after it’s been idle for a while — a simple way to save energy and help your battery last longer, especially on machines that often get left running **What it can do:** - Pick how long your Mac needs to be idle before it shuts down - Choose whether it works on battery power, plugged-in power, or both - Get a friendly countdown notification before shutdown, so nothing catches you off guard - Check your shutdown history and see estimated energy savings over time - Keep things flexible and set it up in a way that fits your routine No telemetry. No tracking. Just a quieter, more energy-conscious Mac ✌️
