Doorstopper Extension

Doorstopper is a Raycast extension which prevents your MacBook from going to sleep when you close the lid.

Note:
The underlying commands need to be run with sudo privileges.
The extension will prompt you for your password by default.

Authenticate with Touch ID

Doorstopper can use Touch ID instead of a password when Touch ID authentication is enabled for sudo. This changes sudo authentication globally, not just within Raycast.

macOS Sonoma (14) and Later

1. Copy /etc/pam.d/sudo_local.template to /etc/pam.d/sudo_local:

   sudo cp /etc/pam.d/sudo_local.template /etc/pam.d/sudo_local
   

2. Uncomment the following line in /etc/pam.d/sudo_local:

   auth       sufficient     pam_tid.so
   

macOS Ventura (13) and Earlier

Add the following line to the auth entries in /etc/pam.d/sudo:

auth       sufficient     pam_tid.so

Changes to /etc/pam.d/sudo can be overwritten by macOS updates. If Touch ID is unavailable or not enabled for sudo, Doorstopper will continue to use the administrator password prompt.
