Frequently asked
Why doesn't Rebite have an app window?+
Rebite lives in your menu bar. Click the bolt icon at the top of the screen to open controls. If you'd like a Dock icon, enable it in Settings → General.
How do I stop Rebite from keeping my Mac awake?+
Click the menu bar icon and choose Stop — or use the keyboard shortcut ⌥⌘B from anywhere.
Will Rebite drain my battery?+
Keeping the display awake uses the same power as a normal session with the screen on. "Disk & processor" mode uses more — it's intended for long downloads or builds.
What macOS versions are supported?+
macOS 14 (Sonoma) and later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
Does Rebite collect any data?+
No. Rebite has no analytics, no telemetry, no accounts. It uses Apple's built-in caffeinate utility and a few public AppKit APIs — that's it.
How do I uninstall?+
Quit Rebite from the menu bar (Quit Rebite) and drag the app from your Applications folder to the Trash. Preferences are stored under your account in ~/Library/Preferences/us.bmtec.Rebite.plist and can be removed too.
