A simple mouse jiggler for MacOS

Mouse Jiggler

[!NOTE] This currently only works for MacOS however, support for other operating systems coming soon!

Steps to Setup

1. Clone the Repo: git clone https://github.com/UmairK5669/mouse-jiggler.git

2. Install the dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Simply run the program: python3 jiggler.py

Your program should be ready to go, simply use the shortcuts 'cmd' + 'shift' + 'u' to start jiggling and 'cmd' + 'shift' + 'k' to stop jiggling.

Using Tmux

It's recommended to have this running in a tmux session so it can run in the background without issues.

Steps for using Tmux in Terminal

1. Install tmux using Homebrew: brew install tmux

[!TIP] If you don't have the brew package manager installed, please install it here

2. Start a tmux session: tmux new-session -s mysession

   Replace mysession with your desired session name

3. Start the process in the tmux session: python3 'path/to/jiggler.py'

[!CAUTION] You might want to install the dependencies again in the tmux session as it could cause issues if you don't

4. Close the Terminal, and terminate this process.

Your jiggler is setup in the background and won't end process when your computer sleeps. In the event of a computer restart, you will need to restore the tmux session manually.
