Stay awake.
Sleep safely.

Snooze Guard keeps your Mac awake during downloads, renders, and presentations — while Auto Eject safely unmounts external drives before sleep to prevent data corruption.

SnoozeDock
SnoozeDock App Interface

Two essential utilities. One elegant app.

SnoozeDock lives quietly in your menu bar — keeping your Mac awake when you need it and protecting your external drives when you don't.

Snooze Guard

Keep your Mac awake for a specific duration — from 5 minutes to 24 hours, or indefinitely. Perfect for downloads, renders, backups, or presentations.

Auto Eject Before Sleep

Automatically unmounts external drives when your Mac goes to sleep, preventing the dreaded "Disk Not Ejected Properly" warnings and potential data corruption.

External Display Mode

Automatically activate Snooze Guard when an external display is connected — perfect for clamshell mode or extended desktop setups.

Auto Remount on Wake

When your Mac wakes up, SnoozeDock automatically remounts all previously ejected drives so they're ready to use immediately.

Battery Awareness

Configure Snooze Guard to automatically disable when your battery drops below a threshold or when Low Power Mode is enabled.

Selective Disk Types

Choose exactly which disk types to manage: external HDDs & SSDs, SD cards, disk images, DVDs & CDs, or network drives.

Clean, intuitive interface

Control Snooze Guard timers and disk management from your menu bar. Configure everything in the elegant settings window.

Changelog

Stay up to date with the latest improvements and bug fixes.

v0.0.3 December 2025 Update

Improved Disk Remounting Reliability

  • Better Remount Success Rate — External drives now remount much more reliably when your Mac wakes up, especially USB devices that need extra time to become available
  • Automatic Retry System — If a drive doesn't remount immediately, SnoozeDock will automatically retry multiple times with smart delays, giving your devices time to become ready
  • Smarter Disk Detection — Improved detection finds your drives even when device identifiers change after wake, using multiple strategies to locate and remount them
  • Active Scanning — SnoozeDock now actively scans for available drives before attempting to remount, ensuring it only tries when drives are ready
v0.0.2 December 2025 Update
