Ever step away for a quick coffee ☕ 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:

👉 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:

• Grabbing that quick coffee without logging back in.

• Keeping your status 'Online' in communication apps during short breaks.

• 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:

• Clock ⏰ & Battery 🔋 status

• A quick To-Do List ✅

• A Pomodoro Timer 🍅 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.
