MonitorRestSleep one monitor.
Keep the others on.
Windows can only turn all screens off at once. MonitorRest gives each monitor its own sleep timer and brightness, and a sleeping screen stays connected, so windows never jump around or get resized. Blue light filter included.
Windows 10 and 11 · 14 days of everything free · no account, no telemetry
What it does
A small tray app. Each screen gets its own card with its own settings.
Sleep one screen
DDC/CI standby keeps the cable connected, so Windows keeps your layout. Or a pure black cover that works on any screen.
Auto-sleep per screen
After N minutes without use, only that screen goes dark. The mouse counts for the screen it's on; typing, gamepads and videos for the active window's screen.
Less power, less wear
A screen you aren't looking at goes dark by itself. It uses less power, lasts longer, and an OLED stops wearing its pixels.
Brightness per screen
Real monitor brightness over DDC/CI, or a software dimming layer for screens that don't support it.
Blue light filter
Warm or Red for all screens at once, one hotkey (Ctrl+Alt+F11). Free forever, also after the trial.
Private by design
No account, no telemetry, no update check. The app goes online only once, to activate your Pro key; after that never.

Questions
Will it work with my monitor?
The black cover and software dimming work on every screen. Real sleep and hardware brightness need DDC/CI, which most desktop monitors have (sometimes it must be turned on in the monitor's own menu). Try it during the 14 free days before you buy.
Does it disconnect my monitor like turning it off does?
No. It uses standby, not power-off, so DisplayPort screens stay connected and windows stay where they are.
Does the app collect any data?
No. Its only network call is activating your Pro key, once: it sends the key and an anonymous PC id, nothing else. See the privacy policy.
Can I use one key on two PCs?
Each key works on one PC at a time. Moving to a new PC: click Deactivate in MonitorRest on the old one, then enter the key on the new one. If the old PC broke, write to support@monitorrest.com and we free the key. For two PCs at once, buy a second key.
Who handles the payment?
Our online reseller Paddle.com is the merchant of record. Paddle handles the payment, VAT/sales tax, invoices and refunds. We never see your card details.
