Caffeine - Keep Awake for Google Chrome

Caffeine - Keep Awake

Caffeine - Keep Awake is a free Chrome extension developed by chandler.stimson. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory.

This extension prevents your operating system from entering hibernate or sleep mode by offering two levels of operation. At the "Display" level, it prevents single or multiple monitors from dimming or displaying screensavers. At the "System" level, it prevents the entire system from entering the power-saving state.

Key features of Caffeine - Keep Awake include the ability to choose between display or system level operation. You can keep the system awake for a specified period, ranging from 5 minutes to 24 hours, and then allow it to sleep. It also allows you to keep the system awake while downloading a file, ensuring uninterrupted downloads even when you're not actively present. Once the download is complete, the system will transition to the idle state.

This extension provides an inactive toolbar button that you can click once to activate the "keep awake" state and prevent the system from sleeping. Clicking the button again will release the system back to its default state. You can also change the level of operation using the right-click context menu options. When the extension is disabled, it does not alter your computer's power settings. However, if enabled, it overrides these settings and prevents the system from entering sleep mode.

Caffeine - Keep Awake is perfect for ensuring uninterrupted network connections during ongoing downloads, keeping the screen active during presentations, preventing the screen from dimming while reading e-books or PDFs, and temporarily keeping your computer awake without modifying the power settings of your operating system.
