What is wox.plugin.awake?

Awake is a plugin for Wox, a quick-launcher app, that stops your computer from going to sleep. Instead of digging into your system settings every time you need the screen to stay on, you just pull up the launcher and type a simple command. It's handy for those moments when you're giving a presentation, watching a long video, or running a task that needs the machine to keep humming along in the background. Using it is as straightforward as typing "awake" followed by what you want to happen. Just typing "awake" shows you the current sleep status and gives you quick options for common timeframes. By default, it kicks off a two-hour keep-awake session so you don't have to think about it. You can also get specific, like typing "awake 30m" for a thirty-minute window, or "awake off" to end the session early and let the computer rest normally. This tool is built for anyone who already uses Wox to navigate their computer. For example, if you are a project manager leading a video call and your screen keeps dimming, you can instantly set a timer to prevent interruptions. Once your meeting wraps up, the session automatically expires, meaning you don't have to remember to go back and change your power settings again to save battery. Behind the scenes, the plugin works by leaning on built-in tools that already exist in your operating system rather than running a heavy background process. It uses a command called caffeinate on macOS, taps into a Windows function called SetThreadExecutionState, and uses a Linux utility called systemd-inhibit. This approach makes it a lightweight addition that simply bridges the gap between your launcher and the system's own power management features.
