Econap

Regardless of whether you are downloading a game from Steam or performing a minute scan of your computer, having to get up and move the mouse from time to time to prevent the PC from entering standby can be inconvenient, to say the least.

Econap is a lightweight piece of software that enables you to configure computer idling and delay the standby for later on when your download or similar tasks that do not require your assistance are complete.

The utility comes with a clean, fresh look and it is unlikely that you can have troubles getting around, especially since the available functions are one-click away. Despite the intuitive UI, the app includes a few details about how you should use a specific function, for instance.

It is worth mentioning that the application features a scheduler on the main window, so you can easily set the interval when your computer should enter Hibernate or Standby mode. Moreover, the tool allows you to activate the Presentation mode and prevent your system from entering standby even if it is idle.

The highlight of the program stems from the fact that it allows you to set up various parameters that should indicate the adequate circumstances when your system should standby. To put it simply, you can specify values such as the CPU, RAM, hard disk or network threshold that should be met prior to this. To make simpler for you, the app displays the average usage and examples for the aforementioned settings.

At the same time, you should know that you can block your PC from entering standby from the Exception Processes tab. In other words, if you are performing a certain task that does not require your assistance and you want to make sure it is complete before morning or a certain hour, then you can add it as an exception and avoid a lot of headaches and save time.

In the eventuality that you commonly need to generate reports, download large files from various locations, perform thorough security scans or benchmarks, but also care about doing your part for the environment, then Econap can help you set up your computer's idling time efficiently.
