Shake It On lives in your Mac's menu bar and keeps your computer awake by generating subtle, organic mouse movements that reset the system idle timer.
Unlike terminal commands or simple blockers, Shake It On uses intelligent conditions.
You can activate it only when CPU is above a threshold, specific apps are running, you're on certain Wi-Fi networks, external displays are connected, or audio is playing.
Smart pause triggers stop automatically when on battery, your camera is in use, a Focus mode is active, or the screen is locked.
It works everywhere: including corporate MDM-managed Macs, remote desktop sessions, and keeps Slack and Teams showing you as active. One-time purchase of $9.99 with free updates forever. No subscription. macOS 14 Sonoma or later required.
Keep your Mac awake during:

We built this because our Macs kept sleeping during renders and remote sessions. It moves your cursor naturally, but only when your conditions are met. $9.99, no sub.

Love the concept and the sleek icon! The smart triggers sound incredibly useful. Quick question: how does the 'organic mouse movement' affect battery life if I accidentally leave it running while unplugged (assuming I turn off the battery pause trigger)? Best of luck with the sales! 🎉

This is such a clever take on the classic "jiggler" apps, love the idea of adding logic to it. The "Smart Conditions" like Wi-Fi network and Focus mode triggers are a total game-changer for anyone working in hybrid environments or remote sessions. One question: does the organic movement handle multi-monitor setups well, or does it stay focused on the primary display? Congrats on the launch!
