    Hey - developer of PowerToys Awake here. Would be happy to investigate. Feel free to open an issue in the GitHub repo (https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues) and I will look into it.

  • NoSleep.js

    Prevent display sleep and enable wake lock in any Android or iOS web browser.

    As Firefox (& I think Safari) does not support the ScreenWakeLock API are you using NoSleep.js? https://github.com/richtr/NoSleep.js

    This library implements a hack and plays a very tiny video in a loop. This should even work on mobile devices and (according to my personal&tiny tests) is not that inefficient as it sounds :)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Bulma

    Modern CSS framework based on Flexbox

  • KeepingYouAwake

    Prevents your Mac from going to sleep.

    I've been using the more bare-bones KeepingYouAwake[0] just because I came across Caffeine first and this was suggested as the continuation of that simple utility. The icon makes it obvious whether it is enabled or disabled
