Some of you may still remember my little sleep/mute/shutdown/... timer for Mac "iWannaSleep", which I wrote and released topping 16 years ago. Much to my surprise, it was included on many Shareware-CDs of Mac magazines from all around the globe (hey, the internet was not available / affordable as much back then! o_O) and grew amazingly popular.

As so many users approached me for an updated version that runs on current macOS versions (version 1 stopped working properly on Mavericks, I think), I took Christmas off and rewrote the thing from scratch and today I can proudly present: iWannaSleep 2! :)

Check out the website: http://iwannasleep.sb-software.de (it's English, no worries!)or directly in the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/iwannasleep/id1494007002

As there are no shareware CDs anymore, I decided to put it onto the App Store. Also, it's not free anymore, but I ask for 1.99$ to cover my expenses for the developer account and everything. I also think everybody who invests time and creativity into something should be rewarded somehow. If you think it's useful, feel free to leave a positive review! If you think you found a bug or expected additional functionality, please let know before leaving a bad review! ;)

Hope you like it!

iWannaSleep is a timer app for macOS that puts your computer to sleep (hibernation), mutes all sound or pauses Music playback, runs any script or Automator workflow or shuts your computer off. It can furthermore keep your Mac awake for the desired period of time (the iWannaStayUp mode LOL).
