About

Awake Keeper gives you a simple, dependable way to prevent your Windows PC from going to sleep when you need it to stay available. Use the large switch before a presentation, long download, remote session, meeting, render, or any task that should continue without an idle sleep interruption. Awake Keeper confirms the current state clearly, so you always know whether sleep prevention is active. Choose whether the display should stay on too. When display protection is disabled, the PC remains awake while Windows may still turn the screen off according to your normal power settings. Every on/off cycle is recorded as a local session. Review your 10 most recent sessions, their durations, recent awake time, today's usage, and the longest retained session. Awake Keeper works without an account. Settings and session history stay on your device. Turning the switch off or closing the app returns control to your normal Windows power settings.
