Fall asleep watching
Put your Mac to sleep after a movie.
You start a film or an episode in bed, and you are asleep before the credits roll. The Mac keeps playing to an empty room, the screen stays lit, and the battery is flat by morning. Sleepr fixes that: set a timer and your Mac goes to sleep on its own once the movie is over.
Set it in one tap
Before you press play, open Sleepr from the menu bar and pick a preset that roughly matches the runtime, say 120 minutes for a film or 30 for an episode. Prefer an exact moment? Choose a clock time instead, like "sleep at 12:30 AM," and Sleepr counts down to it, even across midnight.
Works with whatever you are watching
Sleepr does not hook into any particular app, so it does not matter what is on screen: a streaming tab in Safari, the Apple TV app, a downloaded movie in QuickTime, a podcast, or an album in Music. When the timer ends it sleeps the whole Mac, which stops playback along with everything else, and it works even when the video is running fullscreen.
A gentle landing, not a hard cut
A few minutes before sleep, a floating alert drifts in over whatever you are watching, fullscreen included, with the time remaining and buttons to extend or cancel. If you are still awake for the ending, one click buys you more time. If you are already gone, the Mac quietly sleeps on schedule.
Make it your nightly routine
If winding down to something is a habit, set a recurring schedule once, such as every night at 11 with a 60-minute timer, and Sleepr starts it automatically. There is nothing to remember and nothing to tap.

Common questions
Does it work over fullscreen video?
Yes. The heads-up alert floats above fullscreen apps, so you see it without leaving your movie, and you can extend or cancel right there.
Does it pause the video or sleep the Mac?
It sleeps the whole Mac, which stops playback as a side effect. This is a normal system sleep, so your apps and place in the video are preserved for the morning.
What do I need to run it?
macOS Tahoe 26 or later. It is a one-time purchase on the Mac App Store, with no subscription or accounts.
