Your sleep
Lid and power-aware keep awake
Keep a closed Mac awake on power, let battery sleep happen safely, and use a one-time meeting delay when you need a little longer.
Perch for macOS
Your Mac, under control.
Keep it awake when you need it. Switch your desk. Make your keyboards and mice behave the way you expect. Stop a runaway agent before it gets away from you.

The things you reach for.
Perch brings the small utilities and the important safeguards into one place, with the state visible when you need it.
Your desk
Display presets with a virtual KVM
Map your computers and physical screens, switch desk presets, and move keyboard and pointer control across the desk.
Your displays
Know what is connected
Keep monitor inputs, physical layout, and active routing together instead of hunting through separate display utilities.
Your input
External devices on your terms
Set up external keyboards and mice without changing how the built-in laptop keyboard and trackpad behave.
Your safety
A stop button for runaway agents
Track agent harnesses and their children, including orphaned descendants, so an emergency stop is there when you need it.
Your system
A quick read on your Mac
See CPU, GPU, memory, thermal pressure, audio, and the other small system checks you otherwise open several utilities to find.
