Never Sleep
I released a simple app to the Microsoft store that stops you PC sleeping
I created this app because I’ve used similar tools from other developers in the past, but I always found them overly complicated. Many relied on timers and ran in the system tray after being closed, which often led me to forget they were active.
With this app, I wanted to create a simple, modern solution that blends seamlessly with the Windows 11 aesthetic using WinUI 3. The concept is straightforward: as long as the app window is open, your computer won’t fall asleep.
The app works by setting execution states, which tells the operating system to keep the computer awake. Unlike other solutions that simulate activity by "jiggling the mouse", this method has no CPU load when running. Thanks to its minimal design, with only about 10 lines of core code, the app is lightweight, with a small RAM footprint and file size.
This simplicity gives you peace of mind—you can clearly see the app running and know your PC won’t sleep, without worrying about extra options or hidden settings.
The app is currently free and doesn’t collect or transmit any of your data because I simply don’t want it. Enjoy!
