Ask HN: How to Hibernate Mac Studio? Windows has feature where it pauses all running apps, and shuts down the computer. You can remove power, and then when connected back, it resumes wherever it left of. Even maintaining clipboard content, you can even resume unsaved games. Closest I found in MacOS is reopen previous windows, which just launches the launcher of few apps I use, but doesn't actually resume. |
While I'd recommend against it, the command I believe you're looking for is:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3

You have to set some CLI flags for it: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/51725/do-macbooks-...
