RenderWake prevents your system from sleeping only while Blender is rendering, and releases the wake lock automatically when rendering finishes or is cancelled.
✨ What’s new
- Status bar indicator showing Awake: ON / OFF
- Orange alert highlight while rendering (uses Blender theme alert styling)
User preferences:
- Enable / disable wake lock
- Toggle status indicator
- Verbose logging option
- Improved safety across Blender versions (3.6 LTS → 4.x)
- Clean release of wake lock on render cancel and shutdown
🖥 Platform support
Windows: uses SetThreadExecutionState
macOS: uses caffeinate
Linux: uses systemd-inhibit (when available)
📦 Installation
Download the attached ZIP and install via
Preferences → Extensions → Install from Disk…
Enable RenderWake in the add-ons list
⚠ Notes
macOS uses caffeinate -d by default (prevents display sleep).
This can be changed to -i in the source if preferred.
On non-systemd Linux systems, sleep inhibition may be a no-op.
