A little more about your mouse mover.
What is a mouse jiggler for Mac?
A Mac mouse jiggler is an app or device that moves your cursor automatically. Mouse Sentinel is the software version: it runs on your Mac and makes small cursor movements at the interval you choose, without a separate USB device.
How does the automatic mouse movement work?
Turn the app on and choose an interval from 5 to 60 seconds. When the countdown finishes, Mouse Sentinel moves the cursor a small random distance and starts the timer again. You can see the running state and stop movement from the app.
Can I use it to keep my Mac awake?
Mouse Sentinel is designed for people looking to keep their Mac active through periodic cursor movement. Sleep, screen locking, and availability indicators can also depend on macOS settings and the apps you use, so cursor movement alone does not guarantee that every app will remain active.
Does Mouse Sentinel need macOS permissions?
Yes. Allow Accessibility access so the app can move your cursor. Mouse Sentinel shows its permission status, making it easy to check whether mouse movement is allowed.
Is $9.99 a subscription?
No. $9.99 is a one-time payment for lifetime access to Mouse Sentinel. There is no monthly or annual subscription.
