Mouse Jiggler is a simple and practical tool, developed to simulate mouse movements and prevent the system from entering idle mode, such as activating the screensaver. It is a tool for those who need to prevent lock screens or screensavers from being triggered during prolonged tasks, such as installations or monitoring processes on the computer.
Mouse Jiggler works by creating fictitious movements of the mouse pointer. After executing the MouseJiggle.exe file, simply check the "Jiggling?" option to start simulating the movement. The movement is discreet, allowing you to use the computer normally while the software prevents the activation of the screensaver. To stop the movement, just uncheck the option.
Additionally, the program offers the "Zen jiggle?" option that makes the system believe that the pointer is moving without, however, changing its actual position. This feature is useful for preventing screensavers or other idle mechanisms from activating without interfering with the user experience, although some applications may not recognize this method.
Mouse Jiggler is a great utility for those looking for a solution to keep the system active, especially during long processes or when it's not possible to disable idle detection by other means. It is portable, requires no installation, and can be easily minimized to the notification area.
