MonPwr

You never know when you might need your computer to turn off by itself. With the help of specialized utilities, such as MonPwr, this can be easily accomplished. Save power by turning either your monitor or machine off when not in use.

Once you run it you will barely notice it is there. The modest design leaves you the impression that it might be shy to show up on your desktop. Don't be fooled by the looks though, because this utility is capable of shutting your system down, being only one of the things it can do.

If you consider that your desktop space does not need to be filled with anything else other than what you are currently running, you can always choose to minimize the application to the system tray. It can still be used either with the help of hotkeys, or scheduling it to start at a given time.

It is not just meant to replace the power button on the monitor, but also keeps up and running all undergoing background applications, which can prove to be useful whilst used on a laptop. You can choose to activate at after a given time, schedule it at a specific hour, and also do a little more once it starts. For instance, any of the normal power actions of a computer are available to be done at the same time when powering down the monitor.

You can choose to deselect some of the most frequently used buttons to bring back power, so you don't accidentally do so. A hotkey can be assigned to start the proccess, for an even faster approach.

MonPwr is a small utility used to keep your running applications safe whilst saving power by turning off your monitor. It can mostly come in handy for laptop users, especially for those situations when bringing back power, will only leave you wondering what happened to the things you were doing.
