Direct answer
Mouse Jiggler can help prevent accidental screen lock on Mac by creating small cursor movements while the user is present and needs a session to remain awake.
Common Mac keep-awake scenarios
Mac users often need a session to stay awake while presenting, screen sharing, joining a video call, running a build, uploading files or monitoring a remote workflow. Mouse Jiggler is designed for those temporary keep-awake moments.
- Presentations and demos
- Screen sharing and video calls
- Long downloads and uploads
- Software builds and test runs
- Remote desktop sessions
Why use a mouse jiggler instead of changing every setting
Changing system sleep settings globally can be easy to forget and may leave a machine awake longer than intended. A keep-awake utility gives users a more intentional session-based tool.
Mac privacy context
Mouse Jiggler should be described as a local utility. Its privacy pages state that it does not collect activity data or send user activity to external servers.
