I'd like to know how to revert the power management settings, aside from just putting the app in the garbage.

These are the three commands that YoNTMA executes that modify your power settings:

sudo pmset -a DestroyFVKeyOnStandby 1
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 25
sudo pmset -a standbydelay 0

The first governs whether the FireVault keys should be destroyed on standby; the default is '0' (no), and is changed to '1' (yes).

The second is the hibernation mode. On a laptop, the default is '3':

The system will store a copy of memory to persistent storage (the disk), and will power memory during sleep. The system will wake from memory, unless a power loss forces it to restore from disk image.

It is changed to '25':

The system will store a copy of memory to persistent storage (the disk), and will remove power to memory. The system will restore from disk image. If you want "hibernation" - slower sleeps, slower wakes, and better battery life, you should use this setting.

The third is one:

specifies the delay, in seconds, before writing the hibernation image to disk and powering off memory for Standby.

The default appears to be 70 minutes, or 4200 seconds, but that isn't specified in the man pmset pages, I only found it via Google.

Also, the -a option supplied to pmset simply means to apply the setting to all power modes, i.e., battery, charger, and UPS.

@andschwa is correct, but I will try and turn this into a wiki page later.

Thank you @andschwa 😃
My computer was rebooting every time I open it without this.
