  • caffeine-ng

    Discontinued ☕ Tray bar application able to temporarily inhibits the screensaver and sleep mode.

    • I'm not u/poita66, but if you're going by the number of "stars" on GitHub, caffeine/caffeine-ng appears to be more popular/well-known than [jenspfahl/KeepAwake] (72 stars vs. 18 stars respectively). I have a bias towards Caffeine-ng I've used it before (I haven't used or heard of KeepAwake until this thread). However, there's nothing stopping you from trying both extensions and then keeping the one that you prefer.
