About this site

TabWake offers two free browser tools and a set of guides about keeping screens awake, chat presence and mouse jigglers. The aim is to be useful and precise about limits.

The tools

The keep-awake tool uses the browser's Screen Wake Lock API to keep a display on. The phone jiggler draws a moving pattern for optical mice. Both run entirely in your browser. Neither moves the system cursor by itself or sends data to a server.

How the guides are written

  • Technical statements are based on official documentation from Microsoft, Apple, Google, Slack, MDN and the W3C, listed at the end of each guide.
  • Statements by monitoring vendors are presented as the vendor's own description, not as independent proof.
  • We do not claim test results we have not carried out, and we do not promise invisibility or a permanently green status.
  • Menus change between versions. Each guide shows when it was last reviewed.
