How to use KeepAgent Online to keep Open Claw compatible workflows running, check status, and restore normal sleep on MacBook Air M3.

Buy KeepAgent OnlineView safety notes

Safe default mode

Start with everyday task continuity, without admin password or persistent power setting changes.

Keep airflow with lid closed

Hermes, Open Claw, and adjacent long-task workflows can raise heat and battery use. Do not leave a closed Mac running inside a bag.

Clear boundaries

KeepAgent Online is not meant to replace an external display or cover every lid-closed limitation.

When to use it

When running Open Claw on MacBook Air M3, sleep can interrupt Hermes, Open Claw, or adjacent long-task workflows before the job is done. KeepAgent Online makes the compatibility flow explicit: start, check status, then restore normal sleep.

Recommended steps

1

Connect power and keep airflow

For compatible Open Claw long-task workflows, connect power and place the Mac in a ventilated area.

2

Start KeepAgent Online

Default mode is designed for downloads, training, transcoding, and remote tasks without closing the lid.

3

Use enhanced mode only when needed

If you really need lid-closed or mobile execution, use Mobile Work Mode. It may request macOS admin authorization and can be restored.

4

Restore normal sleep when done

Click Restore normal sleep, and KeepAgent Online returns this Mac to its normal sleep behavior.

Purchase and binding

Each KeepAgent Online seat binds one Mac at a time. You can buy a $9.9 seat for MacBook Air M3, or choose the $49.9 unlimited-device license. Unbinding this Mac requires Mac password confirmation before the seat is released.

Safety notes

Lid-closed operation can increase heat. Do not put the Mac in a backpack, bedding, or enclosed space.
Everyday mode does not require admin permission. Enhanced mode requires explicit authorization and is reversible.
