Keep display & session awake via timed X11 idle-reset pulses and power rules

A Linux X11 alternative to Caffeine. Independent open-source project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Zhorn Software.

FEATURES • Awake Controller & Presets: quick coffee-cup state toggle, one-click presets (15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, Indefinite), configurable pulse interval (default 59s), real X11 XResetScreenSaver calls, optional XTest harmless key pulse (F15 / Shift_L), and optional DBus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.Inhibit integration when the session bus is available. • Battery & Active Window Watch: reads real power supply metrics from /sys/class/power_supply/ to auto-stop when discharging below a chosen battery threshold, and watches X11 client/active windows against WM_CLASS or title keywords to keep the display awake automatically. • Pulse & Session Log: live table of dispatched pulses, X11 extension diagnostics (XTEST, DPMS, MIT-SCREEN-SAVER), battery event history, and persistent JSON settings.
