Gain More Control Over Your Mac's Sleep State
SmartSleep is a Mac application that aims to provide users with advanced control over their Mac's sleep and hibernation system. With four different options - Sleep and hibernate, Sleep only, Hibernate only, and Smart sleep - users can easily switch between modes based on their preferences and needs.
In Sleep mode, the machine goes to sleep while saving the current state in RAM to preserve battery life. Sleep and hibernate mode allows the machine to both sleep and hibernate, saving the current state on disk. Hibernate mode only hibernates the machine, saving the state on disk without using the battery. Finally, Smart sleep mode puts the Macbook to sleep and hibernate only once the battery has dropped to a certain level.
SmartSleep is easy to use and can be installed as a preference pane, requiring the administrator password. It offers a simple solution for users looking to have more control over their Mac's sleep and hibernation options.
Pros:
- Easy to switch between modes
Cons:
- Not essential except for those with power issues
Overall, SmartSleep is a useful tool for Mac users who want to have more control over their device's sleep state. Whether you need to save battery life or ensure that your Mac is always ready for use, SmartSleep provides the flexibility and customization options needed to meet your specific requirements.
