Meet the team behind Little Insomniac
The story behind the little app that keeps your computer awake
Our journey
From a simple script to a tool used by hundreds of thousands
The problem
Our founder got frustrated after waking up to yet another failed overnight download. There had to be a better way.
First version
Little Insomniac launched as a simple menu bar app for Mac. Word spread quickly among developers and creators.
Cross-platform
Windows and Linux support added. Browser extensions launched for Chrome and Firefox.
500K downloads
Reached half a million downloads across all platforms. Premium features introduced.
Still growing
Continuing to improve and add features based on user feedback. The journey continues.
Our mission
To create simple, lightweight tools that solve everyday computer problems without getting in your way. We believe software should work for you, not against you.
Our vision
A world where computers just work the way you expect them to. No more fighting with power settings, no more interrupted downloads, no more sleeping screens during presentations.

Our core values
What guides everything we build
Simplicity first
Software should be easy to use. If it needs a manual, it's too complicated. Little Insomniac works with one click.
Lightweight always
Your computer has better things to do than run bloated software. We obsess over keeping our footprint tiny.
Privacy matters
We don't track you, we don't sell your data, we don't need your email to work. Your computer, your business.
User-driven
Every feature we add comes from real user feedback. We build what you need, not what looks good in demos.
