MonPowr is an extremely simple Windows application you can use to keep your monitor turned off while you’re not working.
Switching off a laptop’s display while on battery will save you a lot of power and keep your laptop running longer.
MonPowr is different from Windows’ power management because
- It requires you to click a button to initiate a monitor switch-off
- The monitor is switched back on only after you click, press Enter, or press the spacebar. All other mouse movements/keypresses are ignored.
Since it’s free and extremely light on resources, you it won’t hurt you to give it a try.
Head over to the website here for more information.

There is a readme file located here if you are interested.
Usage
There’s nothing to it really.
There are two buttons
- One to turn off the monitor, and
- One to make the software run at startup
The application has a few features:
- Stays in the same position you last left it
- Stays on top of your other windows so that you don’t lose it
- Ignores small mouse jerks and accidental presses on the keyboard (except for Enter and Spacebar)
- Really tiny – 32KB – you won’t even know it’s there
This is one of those extremely useful tiny little tools out there that make our life so much better after we start using them! 
So now you can sleep in peace next to your computer, without it waking you up every time the monitor chooses to switch on!
