Sleeper is an energy-saving control panel that will dim your screen, spin down the hard disk(s), and power off Energy Star compliant monitors.

Sleeper can also password-protect your screen and shut down or put your Mac to sleep after a period of inactivity.

Why use Sleeper instead of Energy Saver?
If you have a newer Macintosh, Apple already includes a power-saving control panel called Energy Saver on your system. There are a number of reasons why it makes sense to use Sleeper instead:

* Sleeper works more reliably and consistently than Energy Saver.
* It offers more precise control and numerous customization options.
* Sleeper supports all SCSI and IDE drives, not just those supplied by Apple.
* It provides a screen saver and password protection, which Energy Saver lacks.

Here are some key features of "Sleeper":
  • Hard disk sleep
  • Energy Star monitor support
  • Password screen locking
  • A very frugal screen saver
  • Timed sleep and shutdown
  • Configurable hotkey options
  • Support for the Sleep command in the Finder's Special menu
  • Kaleidoscope and Mac OS 9 compatibility
  • PowerMac-native support for both IDE and SCSI disks
  • Support for multiple IDE and SCSI buses
  • Full SCSI Manager 4.3 compliance
  • Balloon help.

    What's New:
  • Sleeper now saves multiple configuration settings and will automatically switch between configurations when running a PowerBook from battery or ac adapter. Configurations can also be changed manually from the Control Strip.
  • Buttons have been added to allow keyboard entry of any desired delay (1-999 minutes) for the screen saver, disk sleep, password activation, monitor power-down, sleep, and shutdown.
  • Sleeper now supports desktop LCD displays, such as the Apple Studio and Apple Cinema displays.
  • There are now options to control processor cycling.
  • Sleep capabilities in 7450-based G4 PowerMacs (G4/733 and above) are now properly recognized.
  • Sleeper now unmounts servers before going to sleep, avoiding Mac OS 9's warning about "losing network services" if the computer is put to sleep.
  • On PowerBooks, the Finder's Sleep command is now intercepted by Sleeper, just as it is on desktop Macs.
  • The "flash keyboard LED's when attention is required" feature now works with USB keyboards.
  • When Sleeper was installed, Disk First Aid would sometimes stop scanning a drive, complaining that the disk was in use. This has been fixed.
  • A conflict between Sleeper and Iomega Zip and Jaz drivers has been fixed. The problem could cause the Finder to freeze after waking up from sleep on some Macintoshes.
  • The expert options (cmd-option-click on the Help button) now include a switch that prevents Sleeper from changing the backlight brightness of LCD screens.
  • Sleep and wake-up are now more reliable on the PowerMac G4 and iMac DV.
  • A conflict has been fixed between Sleeper's passwords and Orange PC.
  • Sleeper no longer leaves the backlight turned off on PowerBooks if they crash or are restarted while the screen is dimmed.
  • Problems waking from sleep under OS 9 have been corrected.
  • The clocks on G4 PowerMacs no longer lose time when they're asleep.
  • Sleeper now supports ORB drives.
  • Sleeper will put machines to sleep even if the monitor is still powered up and undimmed.
