Good to know.
Will it keep a closed MacBook awake?＋

Can I stop it early?＋
Yes. Open the menu-bar menu and choose End Jolt.
Which Macs are supported?＋
Runs natively on Apple silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 12 or later.
How does the refreshed app handle my data?＋
Core app work happens locally on your Mac. Read the app-specific privacy policy for details about recommendations, local preferences and optional support email.
