What is GamingMonitor?

You know the drill: you're mid-cutscene (or dinner), controller down - and Windows decides it's nap time.

GamingMonitor is a tiny tray utility that actually pays attention:

🎮 Gaming mode — gamepad input (DualSense, Xbox, other HID pads) or GPU load keeps both the display and the system awake

📥 Downloading mode — Steam/Xbox downloads block sleep (display may rest)

😴 Idle — hands everything back to Windows

⏱️ AFK timer — hours of silence force-release Gaming, even mid-render

🔄 Self-updates from GitHub in one click

Dark flyout with live GPU load, per-state tray icon dot, toast notifications, zero config to start. Free, open source (MIT),

~70 MB self-contained download, no install, no .NET needed.
