Keep Mac Awake
Unlike alternatives such as Amphetamine, Lungo, Caffeine, Caffeinated, Sleep Control Center, and other apps, Mouse Jiggler prevents sleep by simulating real mouse movement instead of modifying system settings. This makes it more reliable for keeping Mac awake during extended tasks. It works instantly without complex configurations, ensuring your Mac stays active effortlessly.

UX Designer
"I run a lot of usability tests and interviews where I'm mostly observing or note-taking. Mouse Jiggler keeps my Mac awake the whole time without touching a thing. It just works - exactly what I need."
Product Manager
"I manage multiple dashboards and browser-based tools that auto-logout if I go idle. Mouse Jiggler keeps everything active so I don't lose progress or get logged out mid-task. Total lifesaver for remote work."
Software Engineer
"During long builds or code deployments, I used to constantly nudge the mouse to keep my Mac awake. Now Mouse Jiggler handles it for me silently. No setup, no fuss - just solid, reliable uptime."
