StayUp, a small Windows app with a very clear idea
StayUp keeps a Windows PC awake for a chosen duration, until a clock time, while a selected app runs, or on a recurring schedule.
Field notes
The utility combines manual sessions with rules tied to clock times, running applications, and recurring windows. Its interface is described as a single sun-shaped control with a status pill and countdown, while the tray icon continues operating after the main window closes. The page also specifies separate control over display sleep, an F9 shortcut, and a portable executable. It states that the app is local, without telemetry, analytics, cloud access, or an account, except for license-key checks.
