screen-wake-lock

Minimal cross-platform screen wake lock library.

Overview

This library provides a simple guard that prevents the display from entering idle/sleep mode while it remains alive. It supports Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Usage

use screen_wake_lock::ScreenWakeLock;

// Acquire a wake lock
let lock = ScreenWakeLock::acquire("Playing video")?;

// Keep running...
// The screen will stay awake while the lock is alive

// Release the lock (also happens automatically when dropped)
drop(lock);

Platform Support

• Windows: Uses SetThreadExecutionState API
• macOS: Uses IOKit power management
• Linux: Uses D-Bus inhibitor service (requires a session bus)

Additional Features

• Check if wake lock is supported: ScreenWakeLock::is_supported()
• Linux-specific options: ScreenWakeLock::acquire_with_linux_options()

Example

cargo run --example keep_awake "Watching movie" 30
