Preflights 
Auto-sleep is a silent killer when you’re presenting, timing a build, or following a checklist and your screen keeps locking. StayAwake.Dev keeps your display on using the browser’s Wake Lock so your work doesn’t get interrupted. It also packs a Pomodoro timer, flip clock, and task list so you can run a full focus setup in one tab.
Your laptop keeps going to sleep. Stop letting it.
Most “productivity” tools add steps.
StayAwake.Dev removes one: the screen going dark mid-task, mid-meeting, mid-timer.
Here’s the deal: if you’ve ever cooked from a recipe, ran a workout timer, watched logs during a deploy, or presented slides and your machine decided to lock itself… you know the rage.
StayAwake.Dev runs in the browser and uses Wake Lock to keep the display awake. No install. No account. No paid plan hiding behind a smiley landing page.
What shipped (and why it matters)
The core feature is blunt: prevent sleep and keep the screen on.
That alone saves you from:
- Touching the trackpad every 30 seconds
- Losing your place in docs while your laptop naps
- Looking unprepared because your screen locked on a call
It gets better. The app stacks the stuff you usually open in three different tabs:
- A Pomodoro timer for focus sprints
- A big flip clock you can see across the room
- A simple task list so you stop “remembering” and start finishing
The unfair advantage: one tab, zero friction
StayAwake.Dev works on any OS because it’s a web app.
That means it fits weird setups: a spare laptop as a wall clock, a tablet as a kitchen screen, a second monitor that shows a countdown during deep work.
But there’s a catch: Wake Lock depends on your browser and power settings. Some devices still dim the screen if the OS forces it. StayAwake.Dev can’t fight your battery saver policy. It can keep the tab from sleeping, which is the part that wrecks your flow.
Who it’s for
If your job includes any of these verbs - present, monitor, time, follow, build - this is your tool.
Open stayawake.dev. Start a session. Leave the screen alone.
That’s the point.
