StayAwake

StayAwake is a small Windows application designed specifically for helping you temporarily disable the screensaver and deactivate the sleep and hibernation mode.

The tool runs quietly in the system tray without interfering with your work. In order to access the program’s features you are required to perform a right-click mouse operation on its icon from the system try.

The configuration panel implements an intuitive layout, so tweaking the dedicated parameters proves to be an easy task.

StayAwake gives you the possibility to enable or disable the “Stay Awake” mode, reassign a custom hotkey for toggling the “Stay Awake” mode on or off, show a popup notification when the process is activated or disabled, as well as remember the current state between launches.

Other notable configuration settings worth being mentioned enable you to use an alternative mode in case you have problems with the first one during which the app moves the mouse cursor back and forth by a few pixels every second, as well as run the utility at Windows startup.

There’s no support for many configuration settings, so even less experienced users can make the most out of this tool in no time. Tests have shown that StayAwake carries out a task quickly and without errors. It leaves a minimal footprint on system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

All things considered, StayAwake proves to be a simplistic piece of software that comes bundled with only a few functions for helping you disable the screensaver and sleep mode.
