Awake
Keep your computer active and prevent sleep mode — works in the background, no need to keep the tab focused

How It Works
When you watch a video on YouTube or listen to music on Spotify, your computer stays awake. This page does exactly the same thing — it plays a real (but silent and invisible) audio and video stream, which makes the operating system treat the tab as active media playback.
Three Methods Combined
- Wake Lock — asks the browser to keep the screen on
- Silent audio — a real audio track is playing; the OS sees an active audio session even though there's no sound
- Hidden video — a real video is playing behind the power button (you don't see it because the button covers it); the OS registers it as active media
What It Prevents
- Screen dimming and turning off
- Computer going to sleep
- Microsoft Teams showing "Away" status
- Slack, Zoom, and other apps marking you as idle
Tips
- Keep this tab open (it can be in the background — audio playback prevents the tab from being throttled)
- Works in Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox on Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Click the power button again, or close the tab, to stop
