Pros
- Keeps the computer or device awake as intended, preventing it from going to sleep.
- Simple and effective for its main purpose of managing sleep settings.
- Many users report that it works well when used correctly, especially when activated by clicking the icon.
- Helps overcome device-imposed idle limits such as time restrictions.
- Has useful modes indicating day, night, and sunset to tailor sleep behavior.
Cons
- Does not prevent sleep when device lid is closed, which some users misunderstand as a failure.
- Some users have experienced it stopping working or becoming unresponsive after updates or over time.
- The extension does not remember settings between sessions, which can be inconvenient.
- A few users reported that it causes increased battery drain when active.
- Limited or unclear instructions within the extension leading to confusion about activation and icon usage.

To Hemanth who gave this a 1/5. That's not very nice! If 500 people give an extension 5/5 I would suggest that the PEBKAC error type applies! Did you try uninstalling or contacting the author of the extension before giving it a 1/5? No of course not. Works beautifully for me, thank you Keep Awake!

I tried this extension on my office laptop. IT DIDN'T WORK. So, I'm removing it now.

Does what it is supposed to do.
Night - let's the device just to go sleep
Sun - doesn't let the device go to sleep and keeps screen on
Sunset - doesn't let the device go to sleep, but the screen will turn off

Extension safety
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk
impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of
damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your
personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they
do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Keep Awake does not require any sensitive permissions.
Risk impact analysis details
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on
Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been
around, and other signals about the
Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change
as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always
exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
Keep Awake has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
