## Description

Screen Alive is a practical Chrome extension that allows users to customize their screen lock timeout settings beyond the default system options. It empowers you to set your screen to stay on indefinitely or for a specific duration based on your preferences. 

With Screen Alive, toggling between system default timeouts and your customized settings is seamless using an intuitive widget or quick menu button. Additionally, the extension can notify you when a custom timeout is active, allowing you to revert back effortlessly. This tool is ideal for users who require flexible screen-on times for presentations, reading, or other activities without the screen locking prematurely.
