SmartSleep 2.6 is created to be a professional preference pane which gives you the ability to dynamically set 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 & 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 then 20% or 20 minutes ) it will switch to sleep and hibernate. So you have the best of both worlds.
Enhancements: Fixed permissions on installed directory.
Requirements: mac notebook

After installing and launching for the first time, Disksomnia is totally automatic and works invisibly in the background. There are no settings, no need to launch the app manually and best of all...no more sleeping disks.

Midnight 1.1 is a professional and smart tool which will satisfy you immediately.
When its time to leave your Mac for a while, you want a nice quick way of putting it to sleep and a little bit of flexibility in how you do it.
Midnight can either put your Mac into its standard sleep mode or into hibernation mode (also referred to as safe sleep or deep sleep).
In addition to choosing a particular sleep mode you can choose whether your Mac should switch to the log-in screen before going to sleep.
If your Mac doesnt support safe sleep you can still use Midnight but the hibernation option will be disabled.
Midnight is a clever little fella and can handle all this for you without ever needing to know your administrators password.
Apple only officially supports safe sleep on the PowerBook G4 (Double-Layer SD) together with all of the new Intel books and desktops, so Midnight does just the same.
- This version of Midnight has been completely rewritten, from the ground up, to support Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).
- You can name individual instances of Midnight.
- The addition of an option to turn airport off before sleeping (it is turned back on a little while after waking).

Super Sleeper 1.0.3 is such a professional and useful application which allows you to quickly change the type of sleep that your Intel based Mac performs when it goes to sleep.
By default OS X will not only sleep to RAM but also writes out a hibernate file just in case power is lost while the system is sleeping. For many people who are close to power all of the time, the use of a hibernate file is overkill.
If you are willing to sacrifice the safety net of hibernate, then using RAM based sleep is much faster when putting your notebook to sleep. On a MacBook Pro the difference is time is 10-30 seconds versus 2-3.
