Features

Everything you'd expect from a mouse jiggler

Real movement

Moves the mouse at the operating-system level, not a fake cursor. Resets the inactivity timer for every app at once.

Schedules & work hours

Set your work hours (9–6, Mon–Fri) with simple schedules or cron. Blackouts for your breaks.

Stealth mode

Imperceptible micro-movements, random patterns and adjustable speed for natural behaviour.

Respects your activity

The moment you touch the mouse it steps aside; when you leave, it resumes on its own.

Private & local

Sends nothing to any server. Works 100% offline; everything stays on your device.

Free, no account

No sign-up, no cost, no ads. Download it, press Start and you're done.

Compatibility

Works with the apps you use every day

No integrations, no weird permissions. KeepOnDuty works at the operating-system level, so any app that tracks inactivity keeps seeing you active.
