Mouse Mover

Use Mouse Mover to keep screen on and your status green in web chats: a keep awake extension that works like a mouse jiggler.

🖱️ Mouse Mover is a Chrome extension that keeps your status green in web work chats and your screen on while you read, think or step away. From the moment it's on, your chat tabs see activity. When Chrome has been idle for two minutes, a system-style pointer also starts moving on the open page. Your real cursor stays put, hidden until you're back: this mouse mover extension draws its own pointer, and the Chrome power API stops the display from sleeping. 🚀 Get started in three steps 1. Add the Mouse Mover Chrome extension and pin its icon to the toolbar. 2. Open your work chat in a browser tab, or any page you're reading. 3. That's it: it's on right after install. Click the icon for the on/pause switch and settings, or press Option+Shift+M on a Mac (Alt+Shift+M on Windows) to pause. ⚙️ How it works ▸ After two minutes without input in Chrome, a pointer in your system's style starts moving. ▸ It moves like a person and changes shape over links and text. ▸ On long pages it scrolls in short bursts; in chat and mail it never scrolls. ▸ It never clicks or types, and never sends or opens messages. ▸ Your first click brings your cursor back and presses nothing on the page. ▸ Once Chrome is idle again, the automatic mouse mover starts over. ✅ Why choose this auto mouse mover • It works right after install, with nothing to set up. • It counts idle time in Chrome only, so it still works while you're busy in a different app. • It's a browser alternative to mouse mover software and USB gadgets. 🟢 How to keep Teams status green Wondering how to keep Microsoft Teams active while you step away? Open Teams in a Chrome tab and leave the extension on: that tab sees steady activity, so your status stays green. Google Chat in a tab works the same way. 🧩 A gentle alternative to a mouse jiggler A USB mouse jiggler for Teams shakes the real cursor. This extension takes a calmer route: it keeps your chat tabs active and shows a moving pointer so you can see it work. 💤 Keep screen awake while you read With the extension on, your screen stays bright while you read a long page or watch a dashboard. Prefer a still screen? Turn off Cursor movement in the settings, and the extension will still keep the screen on and your chats active. 📌 Handy when you - work from home and want to stay green on Teams during a long phone call - read docs in another app while your chat stays on screen - want Discord to show you online instead of idle - present slides or wait for a long download 💻 Keep computer awake on a laptop or a desktop Use it as a mouse mover for laptop work sessions or as a PC mouse mover on a desktop. Its pointer matches macOS, Windows, Linux or ChromeOS. 🛠️ Settings • Click the Mouse Mover icon: start the pointer after 1, 2 or 5 idle minutes, get your cursor back with a click or a clear mouse move. 🔒 Privacy ➤ Chrome asks once, at install, for access to all sites, so the pointer can appear on the sites you visit. ➤ No sign-up and no tracking; your settings sync with your Chrome account. ➤ Nothing you type or read on a page leaves your computer. 📍 Good to know ◆ With the chat open in a visible tab, Mouse Mover shows you as active there. ◆ It's an independent extension, not affiliated with or endorsed by the makers of the chat apps named here. 💬 FAQ ❓ Is it a work from home mouse mover? 💡 Yes: your screen stays awake and your chats stay active while you're away from the desk, with a pointer you can see on the page. ❓ How to stay active on Teams? 💡 Open it in a browser tab and let the extension run.
