Stanley Projects

Stanley Projects is a small, GitHub-based publisher that focuses on minimalist Windows utilities designed to solve everyday annoyances with a single click. Its only public offering, Insomnia, belongs to the system-tweaking category: a lightweight tray application that prevents the operating system from initiating sleep, hibernation or the screensaver while a download, render, backup or presentation is running. Typical use cases include keeping a laptop alive during long Zoom calls, ensuring that a file sync finishes overnight, or guaranteeing that a kiosk demo screen never dims in front of clients. The tool requires no installation, consumes negligible RAM, and exits cleanly when the job is done, making it popular among IT support staff, live-streamers and conference speakers who need reliable “stay-awake” behavior without navigating the labyrinth of Windows power plans. Because the entire codebase is open-source, power users can audit or compile it themselves, yet the signed executable remains accessible to non-technical audiences who simply want a ready-made solution. Stanley Projects’ software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest build and permitting batch installation alongside other applications.
