How to connect with external monitor without using charger in macbook [2025]

The command sudo pmset disablesleep 1 is used on macOS to disable sleep mode on your Mac.

this command keeps your Mac awake indefinitely, even if you’re not using it.

 

  • sudo: Runs the command with superuser (administrator) privileges because it makes a system-level change.
  • pmset: Stands for “Power Management Settings.” It’s a macOS utility to control power settings like sleep, display dimming, etc.
  • disablesleep 1: Tells the system to turn on (1) the “disable sleep” mode. This prevents the Mac from going into sleep mode, regardless of inactivity.

 

To re-enable sleep mode, you can run:

sudo pmset disablesleep 0
