DeepSleep Widget
Many people have a lot applications on their laptop and they like to simply close the lid to put the laptop
to sleep so they can get back into their applications instantly. But if the laptop is not used for a while, the batteries
on the laptop will be drained while the laptop is sleeping.
DeepSleep will allow your Mac laptop or desktop to sleep without using any power or drain the batteries (also known as
hibernate for people that are used to Windows PCs). It saves everything
to disk and stops using power completely. When you wake up your machines by pressing the power button, DeepSleep will restore
everything and wake up just like you left it. It takes a little longer than normal sleep but it is a great battery saver when
you know you won't be using the computer for a while. Give it a try, you will love the convenience and the extra battery life!
Features
- Hibernates your Mac.
- Extends the battery life on your MacBook.
- Saves power when you are not using your desktop Mac.
- Compatible with "Password on wake" feature.
- Easy to use Dashboard Widget.
Note for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Users
After clicking on the DeepSleep Widget, please don't touch any keys or shut your MacBook lid until the power is completely off.
Shutting the MacBook lid will interrupt DeepSleep and will result in regular sleep.
Note for iMac, Mac mini and Mac Pro Users
On desktop Macs the Hibernating Safe Sleep feature is off by default. To enable it type the following in the Terminal. For more information please read
