Stims

Stims, developed by ACAPsoft, is an incredibly lightweight system utility program in the automation subcategory. At just 26 KB, the latest version, 1.020, and its associated files, Stims.exe, and stims_gui.exe, offer robust functionalities for managing computer inactivity. Users can set Stims to prevent their computers from shutting down, sleeping, or turning off due to inactivity. This can be configured for periods ranging from 30 minutes to two days, or even indefinitely if desired.

This versatile program works by simulating a shift key press every minute, ensuring that the computer remains active. Stims can also be locked on, set up to auto-start with Windows, and be activated via the command line. Another useful feature is that it can automatically close when the selected time runs out.

One of its standout features is its small size, making it easy to carry on a USB drive and use on any compatible system without installation. Moreover, Stims ensures a double-check mechanism before restarting the computer, which is particularly handy when conducting multiple application installations and minimizing accidental restarts.

Stims supports a range of operating systems including Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11. This program is available in a previous version, 1.0, highlighting its longevity and reliable development. Users looking to download free automation tools will find Stims to be incredibly effective. More
