How it works

Three steps. Zero installs.

We use the browser's native Wake Lock API — the same technology used by Google Maps and video streaming services.

1

Open the tool

Navigate to screenwakeup.com in any modern browser. No download or account required.

2

Choose a duration

Select how long you want the screen to stay on: 30 min, 1h, 2h, 4h, or indefinitely.

3

Click and you're done

Hit the button. Your screen stays awake. Stop whenever you want with a single click.
