Hey ๐
I'm Pranav, and I'm excited to launch Stay Awake!
Ever step away for a quick coffee โ or chat, only to come back to a locked screen and your Teams/Slack status showing 'Away'? Annoying, right? Changing system sleep settings constantly is a pain.
That's why I built Stay Awake! It's a super simple web app with one main goal:
๐ Keep your computer awake temporarily without changing any system settings.
How? Just keep the Stay Awake browser tab open and active in the foreground. The app uses the browser's built-in features (Screen Wake Lock API or fallbacks) to signal to your OS that you're "still active", preventing sleep/lock mode.
It's perfect for:
โข Grabbing that quick coffee without logging back in. โข Keeping your status 'Online' in communication apps during short breaks. โข Avoiding the hassle of digging into system power settings for temporary needs.
As a bonus, while the tab is active, you also get a few handy widgets:
โข Clock โฐ & Battery ๐ status โข A quick To-Do List โ โข A Pomodoro Timer ๐ for focused work sessions between those breaks!
It saves your widget preferences locally and works as an installable PWA.
Important Note: The magic only works while the Stay Awake tab is the active, foreground window in your browser. If you switch tabs or apps, your normal screen sleep settings will take over.
I'd love your feedback!
โข Does this solve a small annoyance for you too? โข What other simple "keep awake" scenarios do you encounter?
Check it out and let me know what you think! Thanks! ๐

Stay Awake App's answer
StayโฏAwake is a lightweight webโbased utility that temporarily prevents your computer from sleepingโwithout altering any system settings. It leverages the browserโs Screen Wake Lock API (with fallbacks) to keep your PC active simply by keeping the StayโฏAwake tab open in the foreground. Bonus features include a battery & clock widget, a Pomodoro timer, and quick toโdo list. Itโs fast, frictionless, and installable as a PWA.
Stay Awake App's answer
Competitors like Caffeine or macOS tools offer desktop-only solutions and lack the convenience of webโbased access or integrated widgets
Stay Awake App's answer
Busy knowledge workers, remote employees, coders, students, and anyone needing to keep their workstations awake for short activitiesโlike grabbing coffee, joining calls, or jotting ideasโwithout the hassle of adjusting system settings. Ideal for those who prefer simplicity and a webโbased solution.
Stay Awake App's answer
Iโm Pranav, a software engineer tired of constantly toggling sleep settings when stepping away briefly. I built StayโฏAwake to solve that annoyance: a quick web solution to prevent lock/sleep while retaining control. It was born out of real useโcoffee breaks, uninterrupted meetings, focus sessionsโand grew into a clean PWA with handy widgets, all while minimizing friction and respecting privacy.
