Versions:
Insomnia by Stanley Projects is a lightweight Windows utility designed to prevent automatic system sleep during critical computing tasks, particularly when artificial-intelligence coding assistants are active. The application monitors designated processes and, upon detecting that tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Codex CLI, or Ollama are running, temporarily disables Windows sleep timers without requiring manual intervention. Users can also toggle an on-demand block to keep the workstation awake for arbitrary periods, making the program equally useful for lengthy compilations, data transfers, or presentations. Version 1.3.0 refines the hook-based integration with Claude Code and expands the roster of recognized AI development environments, while an earlier release remains available for users who prefer minimal footprint. Occupying only a few megabytes of disk space and running unobtrusively from the system tray, Insomnia consumes negligible CPU and memory, ensuring that foreground applications retain full system resources. The software is categorized under System Utilities / Power Management and is distributed as a portable executable that does not alter registry settings, allowing straightforward deployment on development rigs, build servers, or laptops used for on-site demonstrations. Both published versions share the same core logic, differing mainly in extended trigger lists and minor UI enhancements introduced in the current build. Insomnia is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
