jiggy
"If I wanted the government in my house I'd buy an Alexa."
-- Rick Sanchez
Jiggy is a minimalistic (but effective) cross-platform mouse jiggler written in Rust. It might be useful for a number of "reasons".
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any problems that might arise due to using this program to pretend you're "working from home".
Features
- Minimalistic (but effective) mouse jiggler, with no setup needed.
- As implemented, mouse jiggling won't interfere with your regular activities.
- Thanks to non-invasive mouse wheel scrolling, the new Microsoft Teams should not display you as away.
- Cross-platform support for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
