stay-awake

Stay-Awake is a Simple Platform Independent Python package to keep your system awake without affecting workflow!

• Does this affect workflow?

No, this only get's triggered when you don't do any mouse movements!

• Is there a GUI?

This was intended to be a light weight solution, so as of now it only has a CLI!

• How does it work?

If in a span of 60 seconds you don't move your mouse, this script will automatically move your mouse for about 1 to 4 pixels randomly. There won't be any mouse displacement! If you are working, this will do absolutely nothing!

Current Status
