Our Story
NoSleepMode was born out of a common frustration: you're in the middle of an important presentation, a large file download, or a long-running task, and your computer decides to go to sleep. It's disruptive, unprofessional, and sometimes means starting over from scratch.
We built NoSleepMode to solve this problem in the simplest way possible. No complicated settings to dig through, no system-level changes required, just a single click to keep your computer awake.
What started as a simple browser-based tool has grown into a cross-platform solution, available as native applications for Windows and macOS, with browser extensions for those who want even more control.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create tools that remove friction from your workday. We believe software should be invisible when you don't need it and instantly helpful when you do. NoSleepMode embodies this philosophy: it does one thing extremely well, with no unnecessary complexity.
Our Values
Privacy First
We don't collect your data. NoSleepMode works entirely locally, your usage patterns, browsing history, and personal information stay on your device.
Simplicity
One button. One purpose. We resist the urge to add features that complicate the user experience. If it doesn't help keep your computer awake, it doesn't belong in NoSleepMode.
Transparent
We believe in honesty and clarity. Our pricing is straightforward, our policies are clear, and we're always available to answer your questions.
Cross-Platform
Use the tool that fits your workflow. Whether you prefer the web app, a native desktop application, or a browser extension, NoSleepMode has you covered.
Built by Pathfinder Labs
Pathfinder Labs is a small team of developers who believe in building focused, useful tools. We're not trying to build the next big platform, we're trying to solve real problems with elegant solutions.
Our philosophy is simple: identify a common pain point, build the simplest possible solution, and make it freely available. NoSleepMode is the first product in our lineup, with more to come.
The Technology
NoSleepMode uses the Web Wake Lock API, a modern browser feature specifically designed to prevent devices from dimming or locking the screen. This API is supported by all major browsers and provides a safe, standardized way to keep your screen active.
For our native applications, we use platform-specific APIs that integrate directly with Windows and macOS power management systems. This allows for more advanced features like app-specific triggers and system tray integration.
The best part? Since we use official APIs rather than workarounds, NoSleepMode works reliably without consuming excessive battery or system resources.
Freemium Model
NoSleepMode's core functionality is free and always will be. We believe everyone should have access to basic productivity tools without opening their wallet.
For power users who want advanced features like auto-disable timers, scheduling, and per-site rules, we offer NoSleepMode Pro for a one-time payment of $4.99. No subscriptions, no recurring fees, just a single purchase that unlocks Pro features across all your devices.
This model lets us sustain development while keeping the essential tool free for everyone.
