Real movement
Moves the mouse at the operating-system level, not a fake cursor. Resets the inactivity timer for every app at once.
Comparison
Amphetamine for Windows
Amphetamine is a great utility… but macOS only. If you want something similar on Windows, KeepOnDuty is the free option — and it works on both systems.

The gap
There's no Amphetamine for Windows
Amphetamine is exclusive to the Mac App Store. On Windows it doesn't exist, and the closest options tend to be paid or plain “keep awake” tools that don't prevent the away status.
- Free and no account, just like Amphetamine.
- Schedules and time triggers, like Amphetamine's triggers.
- Plus it actually moves the mouse: it keeps your presence active, not just the machine awake.
- Cross-platform: the same flow on Windows and Mac.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is there an Amphetamine for Windows?
No. Amphetamine is macOS only. KeepOnDuty is the closest free alternative on Windows and is also available on Mac.
Does KeepOnDuty do the same as Amphetamine?
It covers the essentials (keep active, schedules, time triggers) and adds real mouse movement so you're not marked away in Teams or Slack — something Amphetamine doesn't aim for.
Is it free?
Yes, free and ad-free.
