  description

  Awake Screen Keeper is a simple but powerful browser extension that prevents your screen from locking and your computer from going to sleep.
  
  ✅ No fake mouse movements — just works
  Unlike mouse jigglers that move your cursor, Awake Screen Keeper uses official browser API. Your mouse stays still, your screen stays awake.
  
  ✅ Works even when browser is minimized
  You can minimize your browser, work in other apps, or leave your desk — protection keeps running in background.
  
  ✅ Starts automatically with your browser
  No need to turn it on every time. Just install and forget — it starts when you need it.
  
  ✅ One-click manual mode
  Turn protection on or off with a single click. Perfect when you need it just for a moment.
  
  ✅ Auto mode — set and forget
  Enable auto mode once, and the extension will protect your screen every time your browser runs.
  
  ✅ Smart schedule — works only when you need it
  Set your work hours (e.g., 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM) and the extension will activate automatically. Outside those hours, your screen locks normally — saving power when you don't need protection.
  
  ✅ Customizable refresh rate (1-30 minutes)
  Some computers try to reset screen activity automatically. This setting "feeds" the protection to ensure your screen never turns off. Recommended: 5-10 minutes.
  
  ✅ Visual status indicator
  Icon turns GREEN when protection is active, GRAY when inactive. Easy to see at a glance.
  
  ✅ Lightweight — zero CPU usage when idle
  Uses native browser API. No battery drain, no performance impact.
  
  ✅ No personal data collected — ever
  Your privacy is respected. All settings are stored locally on your device. No data is sent anywhere.
  
  ✅ Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux
  Compatible with all operating systems that run Chromium-based browsers (Opera, Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi).
  
  How to use:
  
  1. Click the extension icon in your browser toolbar
  2. Click "Enable protection" — it starts immediately
  3. Optional: Turn on "Auto mode" for automatic protection
  4. Optional: Set a schedule (e.g., 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM)
  5. Adjust refresh rate if needed (5-10 minutes recommended)
  
  Perfect for:
  - Watching movies or presentations
  - Long downloads or file transfers
  - Reading long articles or documentation
  - Working with external monitors
  - Night shifts or overnight tasks
  - Online meetings and video calls

  Minimize your browser, work in other apps, or leave your desk — protection keeps running in the background.
