Grindset
Keep your local agent working while your MacBook is closed.
Start a protected session, close your MacBook, and let the work continue. Grindset keeps your Mac awake with its lid closed, then restores normal sleep when the session ends.
Release candidate · no public binary yet
Lid-close support is the core feature. The candidate passes automated recovery tests; signing, notarization, and a real closed-lid MacBook acceptance test are still required for the first download.
