Step 4. Keep Mac Awake

The AirMessage needs to be available all the time in order to send and receive messages, as it functions as a server on your Mac. So, turning off the PC or Shutting the lid down will close the process. To turn your laptop into a stationary server, we recommend that you use a keep-awake utility such as Amphetamine. (Free App)

You can simply install and use Amphetamine to keep your system awake when the AirMessage app is running. The app also offers a number of options to choose from. You can use Caffeinate built-in command line to keep the Mac system awake.
