NoSleep overview
DEPRECATED: This software we used to modify sleep behavior of macOS on laptops with lid closed. As of today it's no longer maintained, and same behavior could be achieved by using pmset or caffeinate utilities shipped with the OS. Please use this project only as an example of simple kext implementation.
NoSleep makes closing of your MacBook lid possible without going into sleep mode. Now you shouldn't plug your mouse and monitor to stay computer awake - just check a tick in the System Preferences and continue downloading of huge files and watching favorite movies over the network with lid closed.
Note: While the software is classified as free, it is actually donationware. Please consider making a donation to help support development.

Version: 1.5.1
I can't install this plugin on OS 12 Monterey.. I'm trying to install the plugin cause my issue is: I have a new ssd in my MBP early 2015, now when it goes in sleep mode, the mac is not able to wake up anymore and a (?) folder icon appears, thus I've to force the switch off (holding Power button).
Anyone as a suggestion to fix this? Or to make it work properly or to prevent sleep mode.
Tnx
