In general, modern MacBooks don't have issues with battery life, but when you do, it can be challenging to figure out what's wrong. The Mac programme Sleep Aid is designed to help you find the precise cause of your Mac's power drain and is focused on idle energy consumption. That is, your MacBook shouldn't lose a significant amount of charge when you put it to sleep. If you lose more than a few percentage points of battery life when you’ve closed the Mac’s lid overnight, Sleep Aid can spot the issue. On your MacBook, the utility displays a graph that indicates different wake occurrences and assigns labels to them. In this manner, you can determine whether your MacBook was awakened by Bluetooth accessories, an errant app, or some dust on the trackpad.

The programme automatically stops a few system services when your MacBook is in sleep mode and resumes them when your Mac wakes up to provide additional battery support. You can also modify a number of system settings linked to sleep with Sleep Aid. When your Mac is in sleep mode, you may use the programme to automatically stop Bluetooth, wifi, and other network connections. If you mistakenly touch a key on a Bluetooth keyboard or move your mouse while your Mac is sleeping, it won't wake up thanks to these settings. Similar to how Sleep Aid can stop some apps from waking the Mac to look for updates.

The programme then enables your Mac to wake up for Time Machine backups and other updates, which is fantastic if you want to charge your MacBook overnight. You may test Sleep Aid out on your Mac for a 14-day period without having to spend anything. A licence for it is $25 if you find it beneficial. Although the software is yours forever, a single licence only entitles you to one year of upgrades. In most circumstances, that shouldn't be an issue, but if the creators decide to hide support for more recent versions of macOS behind an update, you might need to buy the licence again in order to use the software.
