Description

Keep display or system awake for a given duration. It overrides temporarily the system power-saving settings.

Simple chrome packaged app allowing the user to prevent screen to turn off or system from going to sleep. It allows overriding system power-saving settings for a given duration (from 10 mn to infinite). When the app is closed, system power-saving settings are restored.

To note that it might not work yet on all system (dependant on chrome.power API implementation) but it has been tested successfully on a Mac, PC, linux and chromebook.

Technically this is a chrome packaged app that uses Dart/Polymer/Material design. The applications uses the chrome.power API (requestKeepAwake). How the system settings are modified to prevent sleep for either display or system is implemented by Chrome for the various platforms its support (Windows, Mac, Linux). The application itself is not aware of the implementation delails and restores the previous system status (releaseKeepAwake) when stopped (and on exit)

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
