Anti Idle

This is a small utility that prevents your Windows PC from going idle, turning off the display or entering sleep.

Usage

Anti Idle can be run as an AutoHotkey script, or by using the standalone executable in the Releases.

There are 3 methods of preventing the system from going idle. Choose any or all 3, depending on your needs:

  • Keep display active - this should work in most cases, it just tells Windows that the Anti Idle app needs the display
  • Move mouse - this moves the mouse up and down by one pixel at periodic intervals
  • Press modifier keys - this presses the Shift and Ctrl keys at periodic intervals. Useful in certain games that detect AFK (away from keyboard) players

Enjoy!
