Keep Awake - Chrome Extension to Manage Power-saving Settings

'Keep Awake' is a Chrome extension that provides its users with the facility to control their power management settings on Chrome OS. The extension features an icon that can be toggled between modes, affecting the behavior of system sleep and screen display. It allows users to either keep the screen on, prevent the system from sleeping, or leave the power-saving settings uninterrupted. Noticeably, 'Keep Awake' does not prevent a Chromebook from suspending when the lid is closed, but network connections remain active when the system is prevented from sleeping.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension makes it easy to temporarily disable power management on Chrome OS.

It adds an icon in the upper-right corner of the browser that can be clicked to switch between modes where the screen is kept on (sun icon), the system is prevented from sleeping (sunset), or power-saving settings are left unchanged (moon).

Frequently-asked questions:

Will this extension prevent a Chromebook from suspending when its lid is closed?

No, but if an external display is connected, recent versions of Chrome OS will remain awake when the lid is closed.

What's the difference between the "screen is kept on" and "system is prevented from sleeping" modes?

When the system is prevented from sleeping (sunset icon), network connections will remain active; this may be useful if using e.g. the Secure Shell app. The screen will still dim and turn off eventually, though. In the "screen is kept on" mode (sun icon), the system will avoid sleeping and the display will additionally remain on.
