What it does.
Keep awake
Until you switch it off, for a set time, while an app runs, or only when plugged in. Keep the display on, or only the computer.

Break reminder
A quiet notification after a stretch of work. Time away from the keyboard counts as a break, and you can snooze it.

Dashed: from the CLI and agents only, no keys there. Struck through: not on that system yet.
With an agent.
Add the MCP server once, and your agent can use the tools below. Tools that look need read access; tools that change something need write access, and stay off until you allow them in natdal.
“Open Netflix and keep it on top.” One call opens the link, waits for the window and pins it.

Permissions.
natdal asks for these when you turn the feature on. Without them the extension keeps running, limited, and says what is missing.
