Mouse Jiggler Documentation

Mouse Jiggler keeps your computer active by simulating the things a real person does at a desk — moving the mouse, clicking, typing, scrolling, and switching between windows. Getting up and running takes about a minute:

• Download the app from the download page — it's a single portable .exe for Windows 10 and 11
• Double-click to run. There's no installer, no setup wizard, and no admin rights needed
• Your 7-day free trial starts immediately — every feature is unlocked while you evaluate
• After subscribing, activate with your email and activation code from your welcome email — the app takes care of the rest

Once running, Mouse Jiggler sits quietly in your system tray. Open its window to toggle features on and off, adjust how often each action happens, and hit Save. Everything on this page describes those settings.

Mouse Jiggler is a single portable executable. It doesn't install anything, doesn't touch the Windows registry, and doesn't need administrator rights — you can keep it in any folder, or even on a USB stick.

• No installer and no uninstaller needed — delete the file and it's gone
• Runs from any location: Desktop, Documents, a USB drive, a cloud-synced folder
• Nothing is added to your startup programs unless you choose to
• Moving to a new folder or drive doesn't affect your settings or subscription

The core of Mouse Jiggler: your cursor moves in randomized, human-looking patterns — different distances, directions, and speeds every time, never a repeating loop that monitoring software could flag.

There are two movement styles, and you can run either or both:

• Fast movements — quick repositioning across the screen, like jumping between areas of work
• Slow movements — deliberate, careful motion, like reading closely or placing the cursor precisely
• Movements per minute — set a minimum and maximum for each style; the app picks a random value in your range every minute, so frequency itself varies
• Switch intervals — optionally schedule the app to shift into slow-movement periods every so many minutes, mimicking how real focus ebbs and flows during a workday

Simulates left and right mouse clicks at naturally irregular intervals. Clicks are a strong activity signal for time trackers — most tools count them separately from movement.

• Left click and right click can be enabled independently
• Clicks per minute — set a realistic minimum and maximum for each button; the app randomly varies the actual count within your range
• Thinking pauses — the app inserts random breaks between clicks, the way a person pauses to read or consider what's on screen

Generates vertical and horizontal scroll events that look like reading through documents, browsing pages, or panning across spreadsheets.

• Vertical and horizontal scrolling are separate toggles with their own settings
• Scroll distance — set a minimum and maximum, so some scrolls are a few lines and others sweep half a page
• Pauses between scroll events — configure random pause durations to recreate the stop-and-read rhythm of real browsing

Simulates real typing activity, with full control over what gets typed and how fast. Keyboard events are one of the strongest signals monitoring tools measure — many report keystroke counts alongside mouse activity.

Choose a typing source that fits your situation:

• A single safe key — repeatedly presses one non-destructive key of your choice (Shift, Tab, Ctrl, Esc, Space, or any F-key) that won't type visible characters into open documents
• Random letters, random numbers, or letters and numbers — generates a continuous stream of varied keystrokes
• Fast and slow typing speeds — set key-presses-per-minute ranges for each, and the app fluctuates naturally between them
• Switch intervals — schedule periods of slower typing, like a person alternating between writing and thinking

The most realistic typing mode there is: upload any .TXT file and Mouse Jiggler retypes its contents with human pacing — real words, real sentences, natural rhythm.

• Upload any plain-text file — meeting notes, an article, documentation, anything
• The text is typed out with the same variable speed and pauses as the other keyboard modes
• To any observer or tool, the output is indistinguishable from someone actually writing

Cycles through your open browser tabs the way a person researching or multitasking would — at irregular intervals, never on a fixed schedule.

• Choose your browser — works with Chrome, Edge, and Firefox
• Idle time between switches — set a minimum and maximum wait (from a few seconds to several minutes) so tab changes never fall into a rhythm
• Number of tabs — control how many open tabs (up to 9) the app cycles through in a session

Switches between your open applications (the same effect as pressing ALT+Tab) to simulate genuine multitasking. Many monitoring tools log which application is in focus — this keeps that log varied and realistic.

• Number of apps — choose how many open windows (up to 7) the app rotates between
• Idle time between switches — a randomized wait within your chosen range, so focus changes look spontaneous rather than scheduled

Fully hands-free operation. Mouse Jiggler watches for your real activity — when you stop using the computer, it takes over automatically; the moment you come back, it steps aside.

• Configurable idle threshold — start simulating after anywhere from 30 seconds to 15 minutes of inactivity
• Your real input always wins — the app never fights you for the mouse or keyboard
• No manual starting or stopping — walk away for coffee, a call, or lunch, and coverage is seamless

The layer on top of everything else: AI mode continuously varies the timing, intensity, and mix of your enabled activities so that no two sessions — and no two hours — ever look alike.

• Blends mouse, keyboard, scrolling, and switching into organic activity waves instead of steady streams
• Introduces the natural bursts and lulls of a real person's workday
• Nothing to configure — enable it and it orchestrates your other settings automatically

Mouse Jiggler's activity is generated at the system level, so to the rest of your computer — including monitoring and time-tracking software — it's indistinguishable from you moving the mouse and typing yourself.

• No overlays, pop-ups, or visible automation while it runs
• Randomized human-style patterns mean no "unusual activity" flags in tracker reports
• Runs quietly from the system tray with a near-zero footprint — no fans spinning up, no lag

Because the app is a single portable file, you control what it's called. Rename the .exe to anything — the running process, taskbar entry, and tray tooltip follow the file name.

• Rename MouseJiggler.exe to something inconspicuous — Notes.exe, Calculator.exe, whatever fits your desktop
• Swap the icon so it blends in with your other applications
• The name you choose is what appears in Task Manager and the system tray

Mouse Jiggler is fully aware of multi-monitor setups. Cursor movement respects your actual screen arrangement, whatever the mix of resolutions and orientations.

• Works on single, dual, and larger multi-display configurations
• The cursor never jumps off-screen or gets stuck at a monitor edge
• No configuration needed — displays are detected automatically

Every option described on this page lives in one settings window, organized by feature. Changes take effect when you save — and your configuration persists between sessions and restarts.

• Save applies your configuration immediately — no restart needed
• Reset to default settings restores the out-of-the-box configuration in one click if you want a clean slate
• Settings are remembered per device, so the app starts exactly how you left it
