The main interface of the application is pretty bare with the option to select from a list of connected drives to keep awake.

The way the program works is by creating a text file on the selected hard drive or solid state drive and writing it at an interval. This will prevent Windows or the device itself from going to sleep.

User options of Prevent Disk Sleep include selection of drives and how often to write to the text files in intervals of seconds; default is 30.

The application can be configured to start on boot.
