Mouse Shaker

Product Introduction

1. Mouse Shaker is a macOS application designed to simulate realistic user activity by automatically moving the cursor, scrolling pages, clicking, and switching browser tabs. It ensures devices remain active to prevent sleep mode or "away" statuses on messaging platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams.
2. The core value lies in its ability to mimic human interaction patterns with precision, enabling users to maintain productivity workflows, avoid session timeouts, and appear engaged without manual input. It prioritizes undetectable automation to align with workplace monitoring systems or personal privacy needs.

Main Features

1. Natural Movement Simulation: Mouse Shaker generates cursor paths with smooth, randomized trajectories that replicate human hand movements, avoiding robotic patterns that could trigger detection algorithms. It adjusts speed and direction dynamically to match organic behavior.
2. Multi-Activity Automation: Beyond cursor movement, the tool scrolls documents or web pages vertically/horizontally, clicks at customizable intervals or locations, and cycles through browser tabs using system-level shortcuts (CMD + SHIFT + ]/[). These actions occur during predefined "shake cycles" every 30–60 seconds.
3. Battery and Resource Optimization: The app pauses activity during low battery conditions to conserve power and operates as a lightweight background process with minimal CPU/memory usage. It integrates a menu bar status indicator for real-time monitoring of active modes.

Problems Solved

1. Inactivity Penalties: Prevents automatic "away" statuses on collaboration tools (e.g., Slack, Teams) and maintains VPN/remote desktop connections by simulating periodic activity, even during prolonged idle periods.
2. Remote Workforce Needs: Targets remote workers, freelancers, and hybrid employees who require uninterrupted visibility on messaging platforms or must adhere to activity-tracking policies enforced by employers.
3. Session Integrity: Ensures continuous operation of time-sensitive applications like music streaming, file uploads, or coding environments that may terminate due to system sleep or inactivity timeouts.

Unique Advantages

1. Beyond Basic Jiggling: Unlike competitors limited to cursor movement, Mouse Shaker combines scrolling, clicking, and tab-switching to create holistic user activity, reducing the risk of detection by advanced monitoring software.
2. Dynamic Behavior Customization: Offers four configurable modes (Cursor, Scroll, Click, Tab Switch) with adjustable frequency (30s–5m), randomized intervals, and location-based clicking. Tab-switching logic includes sequential, back-and-forth, or random patterns.
3. Enterprise-Grade Compliance: Apple-notarized for macOS 10.13+ compatibility, ensuring malware-free installation and adherence to macOS security protocols. Operates without data collection or internet access requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Why does Mouse Shaker require accessibility permissions? The app needs Accessibility access in macOS System Settings to simulate cursor movements, clicks, and keyboard shortcuts at the OS level. Enable permissions via System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility > Toggle on Mouse Shaker.
2. Why isn’t the click simulation working? Ensure Accessibility permissions are enabled and the app is re-added to the permissions list if issues persist. Navigate to System Settings > Accessibility, remove Mouse Shaker, then re-add it via drag-and-drop from the Applications folder.
3. Why does the cursor remain static despite enabled status? Verify that "Move" mode is activated in the menu bar and the frequency is set below 5 minutes. Some apps require physical cursor displacement, which is only triggered in Move mode combined with Scroll or Click actions.
