under the hood

Built different. Stays running.

One-Tap Persistence

A floating circular widget with a single toggle that instantly overrides OS sleep and hibernation — flip it once, your session never taps out.

Smart Thermal Protections

Configurable safety limits keep your bag from turning into a panini press — LidOrbit throttles before things get toasty.

🔋 Intelligent Battery Guard

Fully customizable alarm fires and safely suspends your tasks the moment battery hits 10% — no fried agents, no lost context.

Why this even matters

Your agents don't care about your commute.

Modern dev work isn't a 9-to-5 at a desk anymore — it's a fine-tune running while you grab a coffee, a local LLM crunching embeddings on the train, an agentic loop scraping and refactoring while you're heads-down in a standup somewhere else.

Every laptop OS on the planet is engineered around one assumption: closed lid = done working. That assumption is dead. The work doesn't stop just because you need to move.

LidOrbit kills that assumption. It's the difference between losing six hours of compute to a sleep state and walking back to a finished build, a trained model, or a completed pipeline — no babysitting required.

the origin

Bred in the Coffee Shop.
Built for the Modern Dev.

LidOrbit was born out of a common coffee-shop frustration. ZeroKool Technologies founder, Fahd Ali, watched countless vibe coders and AI engineers awkwardly balancing half-open laptops while rushing into Ubers just to keep their terminal loops from dying.

Why sacrifice hardware mobility for process persistence? Fahd engineered LidOrbit to give developers absolute freedom: flip the switch, close your laptop, pack it away, and let your code finish the job.

on your desktop

Floats anywhere. Watches everything.

Parks itself right next to the action.

Drop it next to Claude Code, Codex, Hermes Agent, OpenCode, or whatever you've got running in the terminal. The toggle stays one glance away — flip it ON, snap the lid shut, and let the agent cook while you're out grabbing coffee.

Works alongside any CLI agent, local model runner, or long-running script. LidOrbit doesn't care what's in your terminal — it just makes sure the terminal doesn't go to sleep on you.

One panel. Every control.

Tap the gear to pull up settings: check your license status, flip Launch on Login (LOL) and Always on Top (AOT), pick a shape, and dial in the battery alarm interval — capped at a sensible 8-minute minimum so you never get spammed.

The license icon up top links straight to the privacy policy and terms, no digging through menus required.

Three shapes. One widget.

Cycle through Circle, Square, and Rectangle with a single tap — drag it anywhere on screen, on any monitor.

Deep API Architecture & OS Assertions

Low-Level Power Assertions

LidOrbit interacts directly with operating system power manager structures to intercept standard lid-closed sleep triggers. Rather than using permanent NVRAM hacks or broad driver overrides, it registers localized, user-space execution assertions:

macOS Kernel: Leverages the Power Management framework using Apple's IOPMAssertionCreateWithName API, asserting kIOPMAssertionTypePreventSystemSleep to suspend lid sleep triggers.
Windows Win32: Calls SetThreadExecutionState with flags ES_SYSTEM_REQUIRED | ES_CONTINUOUS | ES_AWAYMODE_REQUIRED, cleanly instructing the kernel to bypass standard sleep phases.

Silicon Conservation & Thermal Guarding

Running hardware-intensive loops (e.g. Claude Code or local LLM fine-tunes) inside a closed laptop generates heat that can degrade silicon health. While CPU junction temperatures (TjMax) allow bounds up to 100°C, LidOrbit protects your hardware:

Dynamic Thermal Ceiling: Continuously queries thermal sensors and automatically throttles active thread priorities if internal temperatures reach a conservative 80°C threshold.
Intelligent Battery Guard: Automatically flushes terminal commands to disk and suspends tasks at 10% battery capacity before cleanly entering a safe system sleep.

questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Does LidOrbit work with the laptop lid completely closed?

Yes. LidOrbit overrides standard system sleep and hibernation assertions, enabling your background scripts, terminal processes, and local servers to continue running seamlessly with the lid snapped completely shut.

Is it safe to run intensive local AI models with the lid shut?

Yes. Unlike legacy utilities, LidOrbit includes built-in thermal guards. It queries your device's core CPU/GPU temperature sensors and will throttle or pause execution threads if temperatures reach 80°C, preserving your silicon health.

What happens when the battery level drops?

If your laptop is unplugged, LidOrbit's Battery Guard monitors battery levels. The exact millisecond your battery capacity hits 10%, it automatically checkpoints your running terminal histories and initiates a safe suspend transition, saving your context.

Is LidOrbit a subscription-based utility?

No. LidOrbit provides a 7-day free trial followed by a simple one-time lifetime license. There are no subscriptions, recurring fees, or hidden charges.
