Keep your PC awake.
Control power plans.
Tray utility that prevents sleep, manages power schemes, and automates everything with smart triggers.
Six power modes, one click away
Switch instantly from the tray icon or let triggers do it for you.
System default behavior. BuhoSleep is idle and does not interfere with sleep or power settings.
Prevents both sleep and display turn-off. Perfect for presentations, video calls, or long reads.
Keeps the PC awake while allowing the display to turn off. Ideal for downloads, renders, or backups.
Switches Windows to the Power Saver plan. Reduces CPU frequency and brightness to extend battery life.
Activates the High Performance power plan. Maximum CPU frequency, no throttling, no power limits.
Automatically switches between High Performance on AC power and Power Saver on battery. Set and forget.
Smart features for power users
More than just keeping your PC awake.
Triggers Pro
Activate modes automatically based on running processes, battery level, time schedule, or power adapter state. The killer feature no competitor has.
Global Hotkeys
Assign keyboard shortcuts to any mode. Switch power plans without touching the mouse.
Drive Alive Pro
Prevents external USB drives from spinning down with lightweight keepalive pings. No more reconnection delays.
Session Statistics
Track how long each mode was active. View session history and export data as CSV for analysis.
Crash Recovery
If the app exits unexpectedly, your original power plan is automatically restored on next launch. No stuck settings.
System Tray
Lives quietly in your system tray with a color-coded owl icon that shows the active mode at a glance.
Free vs Pro
BuhoSleep is fully functional for free. Pro is mostly a way for happy users to say thanks — but a 5‑star review on the store works just as well :)
