# Power management

OmniScope can keep your system awake while the app is running.

## Prevent Sleep and Screensaver (1.11.25+)

Enable the "Prevent system sleep and screensaver" option in Preferences to stop macOS/Windows from sleeping while OmniScope is open. The setting only applies while OmniScope is running.

## Tips

* Disable it when running on battery-powered laptops.
* Combine with Performance settings for long QC sessions.
