SYNOPSIS
keep-alive [options]
DESCRIPTION
keep-alive is a lightweight, cross-platform utility that prevents your system from sleeping, dimming displays, or pausing background processes. It ensures that downloads, builds, and other long-running tasks remain active without interruption.
The tool works on Linux, macOS, and Windows by simulating activity or using OS-specific APIs to inhibit sleep.
CAVEATS
May require appropriate permissions depending on the operating system. Does not prevent manual sleep triggered by the user.
