AutoSleep (C#, .NET CORE)

Background story: My laptop refused to go to sleep on timer. It had to be done manually, which caused my battery to drain quickly in the times that I forgot. So after running an energy report (using "powercfg /energy") I discovered that it was my speaker's drivers that was preventing my laptop from sleeping. Since my laptop was already past it's warranty, why not have some fun? ? :)

This app runs as a background process. It has 3 features.

  1. Goes to sleep after 10 minutes without user interaction.
  2. Shows a popup and plays a tone 1 minute before the laptop is going to sleep.
  3. Popup automatically closes after 1 min.

MouseDisplayOff (Autohotkey)

Background process that allows user to turn screen off by moving mouse to bottom right of the screen.

(This application was inspired by and adapted from Mr Koh's C# variant. You can check out his code here)

AlwaysOn (Autohotkey)

Background process that enables some keyboard shortcuts.

BrightnessControl (Autohotkey)

Allows user to control screen brightness with mouse and keyboard shortcuts.
