I always have background tasks running, whether it’s Cursor, Codex or Claude Code programming in the background, a download, an upload, or something else. The problem was that my screen would turn off, instantly interrupting whatever was running, which was extremely annoying.

I also noticed my aunt had the same issue at work. She couldn’t step away from her computer for a few minutes without the screen turning off automatically, causing her to appear offline or inactive in her work apps.

So I made this app to fix it.

Background:

I wanted a simple way to keep my computer awake only when I actually needed it, without changing power settings or constantly moving the mouse.

The result is a lightweight app that prevents your screen from turning off while background tasks are running or while you need to stay active. No unnecessary features, just a simple solution to an annoying problem.

I’d love any feedback, suggestions, or ideas for improving it.

Thanks!

I could never find a Unity outline asset that did exactly what I wanted. Most were either over engineered, heavy, difficult to set up, or just didn’t produce clean edge detection outlines.

So I made my own.

It’s a lightweight Unity outline asset that draws clean edge detection outlines around any 3D object, including animated and rigged models. it just works.

I’d love to hear any feedback or suggestions!

Thanks in advance!
