Summary

A utility to continuously jiggle the mouse pointer to prevent screen saver activation

Description

Mouse Jiggler is a simple utility whose sole function is to “fake” mouse input to Windows, and jiggle the mouse pointer back and forth.

Useful for avoiding screensavers or other things triggered by idle detection that you can’t turn off any other way; or as a quick way to stop a screensaver activating during an installation or when monitoring a long operation without having to modify screensaver settings.

Features:

• Four jiggle modes: Normal (diagonal movement), Zen (virtual movement), Circle, and Linear
• Configurable jiggle interval (in seconds)
• Adjustable distance multiplier (up to 120x)
• Optional random timer variation
• Auto-pause when mouse is moved
• Global hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+J) to toggle jiggling
• Optional pause while the workstation is locked
• Minimizable to notification area
• Command-line interface for scripting and automation, including --stop-jiggling to drive a scheduled stop from Task Scheduler
