Keep screen awake ​

Stops the screen from turning off while claude-ui is open, so you can watch a long session run.

The coffee button in the titlebar

How to use ​

  1. Click the coffee button in the titlebar. It stays pressed while it is on.
  2. Or switch on Keep screen awake in Settings › General › Screen, or run Toggle keep screen awake in the command palette.
  3. To hold the screen only while Claude works, also switch on Only while a session is running.

Good to know ​

  • It is kept per browser. The button, the switch and the palette command change the same setting.
  • It needs HTTPS or localhost. Where the browser does not support it, the button is disabled and its tooltip says why.
  • The browser lets go of the screen when the page is hidden and takes it again when you return.
  • A session that waits for a permission answer counts as running.
  • A browser can refuse, for example in battery saver. The tooltip then names the reason, and the page tries again when you come back.
