StayAwake Portable is an intuitive and speedy application you can use to prevent the computer from launching the screensaver, hibernating or entering sleep mode by controlling it from the systray. It features options that even inexperienced users can tinker with.

There is no setup pack involved. Instead, the tool's packed in a single executable file that can be saved anywhere on the disk or copied to a removable storage unit, in order to effortlessly run StayAwake Portable on any PC without previous installation

It doesn't need DLLs or other components to work properly, nor does it add new entries to the system registry. In order to eliminate it, you simply have to delete this .exe file.

As soon as it's fired up, StayAwake Portable creates an icon in the system tray and facilitates fast access to its options while giving you the possibility to carry on with your typical desktop activity without any interruptions.

It's possible to configure a keyboard shortcut for toggling StayAwake mode, hide the balloon message when this toggle takes place, ask the tool to remember the state between languages, hide the startup balloon if the program is active, switch to alternative mode, as well as integrate the app into the Windows startup sequence, so that it automatically runs whenever you turn on your computer.

We haven't come across any stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the software application didn't hang, crash or prompt error messages. It left a small footprint on the computer's performance, running on a low amount of CPU and RAM, so it didn't hog system resources.

To wrap it up, StayAwake provides you with basic options and a clear-cut method for controlling screensaver launches along with system sleep mode and hibernation. It can be tackled with ease by all types of users.
