macOS natively offers us a method to schedule our computer to turn off completely after one hour. If you've used this method to schedule your computer to shut down automatically, you probably realized the next morning that your team hasn't shut down.
It has not been closed because it has not forced the closing of the applications that were open at that time, a fairly common problem. In the Mac App Store, and outside of it, we have various applications for schedule the shutdown of our equipment, or go to sleep or restart. Today we talk about one of them: Sleepy.
Sleepy is a simple app that does that and does it well. Sleepy forces all apps to close that are open when the time that we have established to turn off, restart or sleep our computer has arrived.
In addition to programming the time we want it to do that function, it also allows us set a countdown, an ideal function for when we leave the little ones with our Mac and we do not want them to continue using it (especially if they are playing) after the time that we have set.
When there are 5 minutes to go to the time we have set, a message will be displayed on the screen notifying us, a message that we can download to prevent the application from running and shutting down our team.
So that we know at all times, the time remaining for our Mac to turn off, restart or go to sleep, the application will show a timer in the dock of applications, which allows us to have that information always at hand.
Sleepy, which currently is the most downloaded paid app on the Mac App Store (at the time of publishing this article) it has a price of 1,09 euros, a price more than adjusted for the benefits it offers us.
