don’t.sleep
a small weapon against screen dimming — keep the display awake while your ai churns, you read, cook, present, or pretend to work.
the screen wants to sleep. you disagree.
night notes
01how does it work?
it uses the screen wake lock api — the same signal video players use — to tell your device the display must stay on. no apps, no settings spelunking.
02why use the popout while my ai is working?
browsers drop the wake lock the moment this tab is hidden. if you switch to a terminal or ide to watch a long ai run, the main tab goes quiet. the popout timer is its own small always-visible window — park it beside your work and the lock holds until you stop it.
03does it work everywhere?
wake lock needs a modern browser over https, and some browsers refuse when the battery saver is strict. if it's unsupported, the timer still runs — the screen just might doze off.
04'forever' mode?
an endless session with a count-up clock. it holds the lock until you press stop, close the tab, or the browser reclaims it. pair it with the popout for long ai sessions.
05where do stats live?
in your browser's local storage, on your device. nothing is sent anywhere. clear site data and the slate is wiped.
06why does the tab title tick?
so you can park this tab and still see the remaining time from another one. small mercy.
