Caffeine Applet for COSMIC DE

A simple COSMIC applet that prevents your system from going idle by creating a systemd-inhibit lock session. Perfect for keeping your machine awake on demand!

Features

• Toggle Caffeine: Click the applet's icon to enable or disable an inhibit session.
• Minimal: Only uses a tiny amount of memory and CPU.
• Built with COSMIC: Integrates into your cosmic desktop or panel.

Installation

• Clone & Enter Project Directory:

git clone https://github.com/codevardhan/caffeine-applet.git
cd caffeine-applet

• Make Install Script Executable:

chmod +x install.sh

• Run Installation:

./install.sh

• Go to Desktop → Panel → Configure panel applets → Add Applet to add this to COSMIC panel.

Usage

Once the applet is running:

• Click the coffee-cup icon to toggle between awake (caffeine mode) and idle (normal). A PID file (/tmp/caffeine-id.txt) is maintained to track the systemd-inhibit session.
• If the PID file already exists, it means a caffeine session is running (and you won’t be able to start a new one without stopping it first).
