Troubleshooting

When the Mac sleeps anyway, the password prompt keeps coming back, or a trigger is not firing. Each guide names the likely cause and the setting that fixes it, including the macOS behaviour Keepresso cannot override.

4 guides in Troubleshooting.

My Mac still goes to sleep
A short checklist for when Keepresso is on but your Mac keeps sleeping anyway.
Why won't my Mac sleep? See what is keeping it awake
Your Mac will not sleep and you do not know why. Keepresso shows every app holding it awake, in plain language.
Stop the repeated administrator password prompts
Closed-display mode, the AWDL pause, fan boost, game CPU priority, and scheduled wake can ask for your admin password on every launch. Install the administrator helper once and they never ask again.
Fix a public Wi-Fi login page that will not appear on Mac
Diagnose a cafe, hotel, or airport network that connects without internet, then reopen its login page, cycle Wi-Fi, or flush DNS from Keepresso.
