Mouse Jiggler for Mac

The utility keeps a Mac from entering sleep mode by generating artificial mouse movements that mimic real user input. It runs without altering system power settings or requiring administrator privileges, so it can be activated instantly after granting a one‑time accessibility permission. The simulated activity satisfies the input requirements of remote‑desktop sessions, cloud applications, and monitoring dashboards, ensuring those tools remain responsive during long downloads, background processing, or extended workflows.

Designed for compatibility with macOS 11 and later—including Monterey, Ventura, and Sonoma on Intel, M1, M2, and M3 hardware—the app operates with minimal memory usage and no noticeable performance impact. It offers optional silent mode, auto‑click functionality, and smart auto‑stop based on elapsed time or battery level, providing flexible control while remaining unobtrusive in the background.

Unlike some alternatives that modify power assertions or need complex configuration, this mouse mover focuses on simulating genuine cursor motion, which is recognized by the operating system and many remote‑desktop clients as legitimate activity. Its straightforward setup and low resource footprint make it suitable for users who need a reliable way to keep their Mac awake without altering system settings.
