Take A Coffee
Keep Codex working while your laptop is closed
Closed-lid agent work has two separate problems: idle sleep and lid-close sleep. Take A Coffee turns that into a temporary carry mode for MacBook and Windows laptops, with an explicit on/off switch, restored defaults, and battery/heat awareness before transport. It is built for Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and other local coding agents.
I built Take A Coffee after running Codex jobs that I wanted to keep alive while moving between home and work.
The part that mattered was not just "prevent sleep." Closed-lid carry needs a temporary mode with a clear on/off switch, restored defaults, and an obvious battery/heat tradeoff before the laptop goes into a bag.
It is intentionally tiny: macOS uses pmset + caffeinate, Windows uses powercfg, it works on battery only when explicitly enabled, turns off and restores normal behavior when you are done, and includes a small Codex pet/mascot.
It is not a fake virtual-monitor claim. It is a practical closed-lid carry mode for agent workflows.
Would love feedback from anyone using Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or other agent workflows while moving around with a laptop.

Hey Product Hunt,
I built Take A Coffee after running Codex jobs that I wanted to keep alive while moving between home and work.
The part that mattered was not just "prevent sleep." Closed-lid carry needs a temporary mode with a clear on/off switch, restored defaults, and an obvious battery/heat tradeoff before the laptop goes into a bag.
It is intentionally tiny: macOS uses pmset + caffeinate, Windows uses powercfg, it works on battery only when explicitly enabled, turns off and restores normal behavior when you are done, and includes a small Codex pet/mascot.
It is not a fake virtual-monitor claim. It is a practical closed-lid carry mode for agent workflows.
Would love feedback from anyone using Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or other agent workflows while moving around with a laptop.
