    Keep your screen awake

    What are you keeping awake?

    Each one opens the tool already set for the job, with the length it needs.

    All 14 use cases

    Make it yours

    Clock faces, colours, backgrounds, focus sounds and a notepad. Each one loads only when you pick it, and the status pill still tells you the truth.

    Compare Free and Pro

    Twelve clock faces

    All free

    Classic, retro and modern. Every face shows your session, follows your lamp colour and knows when the screen is paused. Swipe the clock or press C to switch.

    • Themes, lamps and backgrounds

      Clear Night, Paper and Nord, four lamps, three backgrounds and three presets are free. Pro adds six themes, eight lamps, a colour of your own, five backgrounds and five presets.

      Any Pro look can be tried for 5 minutes, as often as you like. Nothing is saved.

    • Sounds for focus

      Seven focus sounds made live in your browser, five end sounds, vibration and a quiet tick-tock, all free. Pro adds a mixer to layer them.

      • Brown noise

      Nothing plays until you ask, and sound never keeps the screen awake.

    • A notepad beside the clock

      Checklists, headings, export and voice typing. Notes stay in this browser and work offline. One note is free; Pro keeps as many as you like.

    • Focus tools

      A Pomodoro with pause and skip, an intention under the clock, a breathing guide and a second time zone. With Pro the Pomodoro repeats on its own.

    AwakeTab for Chrome

    Free

    Keep the screen awake with the tab out of sight

    The extension asks the browser itself to keep the screen awake, so it keeps going behind other windows.

    • Tab hidden or window minimised It keeps going while the browser is running.
    • Only the system, if you prefer System level keeps the computer awake and lets the screen dim or turn off.
    • Status in the toolbar The badge shows ON, SYS or the minutes left.
    • A shortcut from any tab Alt+Shift+A starts or stops it without going back to the tab.
    Get the extension

    Works in Chrome and Edge, version 116 or later. Firefox and Safari have no power API for extensions.

    Choose your level

    Keeping a screen awake is free, in this tab and in the extension, and so are every clock face and focus sound. Pro adds more looks, a sound mixer, more notes and a longer memory.

    The pill says Screen awake only after the browser confirms the lock. For a hidden tab or a minimised window, the extension keeps going.
