Everettjf is an independent developer whose open-source catalog is presently represented by the single utility DoNotSleep, a cross-platform command-line tool designed to prevent workstations from entering sleep or hibernation states during long-running tasks. Written in Go and distributed under permissive licensing, the program exposes a minimalistic interface that allows power users, DevOps engineers, and unattended-script authors to temporarily override system sleep timers on Windows, macOS, and Linux without touching GUI power panels. Typical invocation scenarios include keeping build servers alive during overnight compilations, ensuring laptops remain active while streaming conference projectors, or safeguarding demo kiosks that would otherwise dim after idle timeouts. Because the binary is statically linked and requires no elevation on most platforms, it can be embedded in CI pipelines, scheduled via cron, or launched from shell scripts with a simple countdown or indefinite flag. Despite the focused scope, the project follows modern release practices, publishing signed artifacts for multiple architectures and documenting exit codes for easy integration with orchestration frameworks such as Ansible, Puppet, or plain batch files. Everettjf’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources like winget, always installing the latest upstream build and supporting batch deployment of multiple applications.
