Chiù
Chiù is a small tray/menu-bar app for Windows and macOS that automatically prevents the computer from going to sleep while there is detectable network activity, such as a Steam game download or update. It lets users configure the activity threshold and grace period, and also offers a manual keep-awake mode. It currently ships without publisher certificates, so the OS may show a warning on first launch.
What it addresses
