We built ScreenWakeUp so your screen never interrupts your workflow. No annoying sign-ups, no trackers, and 100% instant.

How it works
Three steps. Zero installs.
We use the browser's native Wake Lock API — the same technology used by Google Maps and video streaming services.
Open the tool
Navigate to screenwakeup.com in any modern browser. No download or account required.
Choose a duration
Select how long you want the screen to stay on: 30 min, 1h, 2h, 4h, or indefinitely.
Click and you're done
Hit the button. Your screen stays awake. Stop whenever you want with a single click.

Reading articles

Browser tool vs desktop app
Why not just download an app?
You shouldn't need to install software, give admin permissions, or trust a random .exe just to keep your screen on.
