SmartSleep is a preference pane that dynamically sets the sleep state of your machine. It's a successor to Hibernate.prefPane.

The Problem - Your MacBook or MacBook Pro knows the following sleep states:

• sleep: machine will go to sleep only (saves state in RAM only, battery keeps RAM contents)
• sleep and hibernate: machine sleeps and hibernates. (default)
• hibernate only: machine will go to hibernate only. (saves state on disk, battery will not be used)
• Just sleep means that the notebook will go to sleep fast, but you loose the ability to change the battery as the battery is needed to

SmartSleep is a preference pane that dynamically sets the sleep state of your machine. It's a successor to Hibernate.prefPane.

The Problem - Your MacBook or MacBook Pro knows the following sleep states:

• sleep: machine will go to sleep only (saves state in RAM only, battery keeps RAM contents)
• sleep and hibernate: machine sleeps and hibernates. (default)
• hibernate only: machine will go to hibernate only. (saves state on disk, battery will not be used)
• Just sleep means that the notebook will go to sleep fast, but you loose the ability to change the battery as the battery is needed to keep the contents of the memory (RAM).
• Just sleep and hibernate will wake the computer fast, but sleeping will take ages as the contents of the memory are saved to disk before entering the sleep.

The solution - SmartSleep lets your notebook just sleep while the battery has a high level. If the battery level drops below a certain point (default is less than 20% or 20 minutes), it will switch to sleep and hibernate. So you have the best of both worlds.

Version 3.22:

• Added default overrides for pmset. SmartSleep uses pmset to set the values for sleep, hibernate, sleep and hibernate and system default. You can now override the values that SmartSleep uses:
• pmsetvalueforsleep
• pmsetvalueforsleepandhibernate
• pmsetvalueforhibernate
• pmsetvalueforsystemdefault
• Added Retina menu-bar icons - thanx to Mario Bieh for creating them.
• Added OS-dependent update mechanism for future updates.
• Added more Help pages.
• Changed how the application behaves when it's installed incorrectly.
• No longer needs a setting to explicitly allow running in background as SmartSleep does not need to follow Apples AppStore rules. So SmartSleep daemon automatically runs in background when you you use something other than System default as setting.
• Fixed a bug that would cause SmartSleep not to set the correct sleep state when not run in background.
• Fixed a bug that App Store receipts from older computers would not be moved away.
• Fixed a few typos and linked to Info.html inside the dmg.
