About Keep Awake Until Done

Keep Awake Until Done keeps your PC from sleeping while a job runs, and lets it sleep again the moment the job is finished. No timer to guess, and no PC left on all night for a download that ended at midnight.

Free and pro

Free: keep your PC awake until you click the cup again, keep the screen on too or not, the tray icon, and light and dark themes.

PRO, one payment from inside the app: until a download finishes, until an app closes, until the CPU goes quiet, for a while or until a time, allow sleep below 15% battery, Start with Windows, and the tray presets from 5 minutes to 5 hours.

Until the download finishes (pro)

The app watches your Downloads folder, or any folder you choose, and shows each file that is growing with its size and speed. When nothing has grown for 30 seconds, the download is done. A browser download that stalls for a moment does not end the wait.

Until an app closes (pro)

Waiting on a render, an installer or a backup? Pick the app from the ones you have open, shown with their icons, or browse for any program. When it closes, your PC can sleep.

Until the CPU goes quiet (pro)

For work that has no window and no file, wait for the processor to settle. Under 10% for 2 minutes to start, or set your own level and time.

Or a time, or forever

Keep awake until you click the cup again, free. With PRO, keep awake for a while, or until a time today or later in the week.

Click the cup

The espresso cup is the switch. Steam rises while your PC is kept awake, and the coffee level shows the time or work left. A line under the cup says what it is waiting for.

A notification when it is done

"Your download finished", "Your PC has gone quiet", "Time's up". Then your PC sleeps as usual.

Kind to your battery

With PRO, turn on "Allow sleep below 15% battery" and the app lets go when a laptop on battery runs low. Keep the screen on too, or only the PC.

From the tray

Start or stop from the notification area. With PRO, keep awake for 5 minutes up to 5 hours from the same menu, and start with Windows.

Bought Espresso PRO? It carries over. Your settings from the earlier version carry over too.
