## Description

Keep your screen awake exactly when you need it, without draining your battery when you don't.

Whether you are following a recipe on your phone, reading a long article, or keeping a dashboard open on your second monitor, this extension ensures your display won't time out and go black.

<strong>Features:</strong>
* <strong>Keep this tab awake:</strong> A temporary lock that lasts only until you close or refresh the tab.
* <strong>Always keep this page awake:</strong> Automatically keeps the screen on for a specific URL.
* <strong>Always keep this website awake:</strong> Automatically keeps the screen on for an entire domain.

<strong>Privacy First &amp; Mobile Ready</strong>

Built from the ground up to support Firefox for Android and Desktop. We use a "Privacy First" permission model. By default, the extension has zero access to the websites you visit. It will only ask for permission to read a website when you explicitly choose to create an "Always Awake" rule for that specific site.

<em>(Power users can opt-in to global permissions in the extension settings to skip future prompts).</em>

<strong>Note:</strong> For security reasons, the browser only allows the screen to stay awake on active tabs using secure connections (URLs starting with <code>https://</code>).
