I'm trying to replace my usage of google inline search apps with real apps,
today I used a stopwatch to time some things out at work by opening stopwatch.
This was something I just wanted running in a tab on another screen, it was not
timing running code or anything, I was using it as a reminder to check browser
caches every 5 minutes or so for some testing.

So tonight I whipped up a [stopwatch](https://stopwatch.wayl.one),
[clock](https://clock.wayl.one) and [timer](https://timer.wayl.one), all of
which are using the wakelock API to keep the screen on while the app is
running.

``` js
 // Wake Lock support
 let wakeLock = null;
 async function requestWakeLock() {
 try {
 if ('wakeLock' in navigator) {
 wakeLock = await navigator.wakeLock.request('screen');
 console.log("Wake lock acquired");
 }
 } catch (err) {
 console.error("Wake lock error:", err);
 }
 }

 document.addEventListener("visibilitychange", () => {
 if (wakeLock !== null && document.visibilityState === "visible") {
 requestWakeLock();
 }
 });

 requestWakeLock();
```
