 "title": "Recover a Mac after a session that could not be undone",
 "page_title": "How to recover a Mac after a session that could not be undone with Insomnia",
 "summary": "Find and clear the recovery warning, unfreeze processes and restore audio after a crash or quit.",
 "who": "A user who sees a recovery warning in the Insomnia menu after the app crashed, quit or lost track of a session.",
 "problem": "Some changes, such as frozen processes or muted audio, may still be in place after a session ends, so the Mac may not behave normally.",
 "outcome": "The user has reopened Insomnia to restore audio, checked frozen processes, and cleared or understood each recovery warning.",
 "steps": [
  "Open Insomnia with `open \"$HOME/Applications/Insomnia.app\"` so the app can restore audio.",
  "Read the recovery warning in the menu and find the matching case in docs/recovery.md.",
  "Check any process Insomnia could not prove it froze, since it stays frozen until you check it.",
  "Read `~/Library/Logs/Insomnia/insomnia.log` for the recorded changes.",
  "Run `./scripts/uninstall.sh` only if you intend to remove Insomnia, because it undoes any open session first."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the repo https://github.com/krishhgg/Insomnia, read docs/recovery.md and the log at ~/Library/Logs/Insomnia/insomnia.log on this Mac. Report each recovery warning and the step from docs/recovery.md that addresses it. Verify that you did not change any power setting while reporting.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The recovery agent cannot restore audio and does not watch the battery or temperature, so the user must reopen the app for audio and check those conditions directly.",

  "A Mac with Apple Silicon running macOS 26 or later",

  "Terminal access, and optionally Xcode with Swift 6.2 or later if you build from source",
  "A stable, well-ventilated surface for the Mac during a session, as the README advises"
