Prevent macOS from sleeping

Swaps uses a peer-to-peer network to process orders and complete atomic swaps. To ensure your orders remain active and swaps are processed correctly, your Mac must stay online while the application is running.

By default, macOS may automatically put your device to sleep when the display is turned off. This can interrupt active orders or ongoing swaps.

Follow the steps below to prevent your Mac from automatically sleeping while connected to a power adapter.

1. 1

   Open System Settings

   Open System Settings on your Mac.

2. 2

   Search for the Sleep Setting

   In the search bar located in the top-left corner, type: prevent auto

   

   Then select the setting: “Prevent automatic sleeping on power adapter when the display is off”

3. 3

   Enable the Setting

   Turn on: Prevent automatic sleeping on power adapter when the display is off

   

   Once enabled, your Mac will stay awake while connected to power, allowing Swaps to continue processing orders and swaps without interruption.
