There are similar features and tools available for macOS, Android and Linux to control standby mode based on network activity. Here are some examples:

For MacOS:

- There are third-party apps that offer similar functionality, such as Amphetamine or Jettison. These allow users to control standby mode based on specific conditions, including network activity.

For Android:

- Android offers a native feature called "Stay Awake" that allows users to keep the display on as long as the device is connected to a power source. This feature can be useful to prevent standby mode during certain activities, such as streaming content or performing downloads.

For Linux:

- In Linux, users can use scripts or tools to implement similar functionality. For example, the "caffeine" tool can be used to disable the screen saver and standby mode based on various conditions, including network activity.

Overall, the features to control standby mode based on network load are available in different operating systems, either through native features or through third-party apps and tools. However, availability and specific implementations may vary depending on the platform.
