Sodamint v1.0.0 — first release
A tiny GTK3 tray app that keeps your Linux machine awake and shows a live
dashboard of everything currently holding it awake. A caffeine analog for Linux
Mint / Kubuntu that works where the classic screensaver/DPMS tricks fail — it
holds a real systemd-logind idle:sleep inhibitor.
Features
- One-click keep-awake — toggle it from the tray; the icon lights up only
when something actually blocks idle/sleep. - Live inhibitor dashboard — see every process keeping the machine awake
(why · pid), read straight from logind and refreshed automatically. - Your own lock stands out as its own row; system sources sit in a
System
submenu. - Agent highlighting — long-running agents/scripts that hold their own
systemd-inhibit --who=sodamint-agent …lock show up highlighted (◆). See
AGENTS.md. - Read-only for others — Sodamint never drops another process's lock; quit
releases only your own, so agents/other apps keep the machine awake if they're
still working. - Start on login — optional per-user autostart, toggled from the tray.
