“If I wanted the government in my house I’d buy an Alexa.”

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”.

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.

The easiest way to get the latest release is via crates.io:

cargo install jiggy

Note: if run into problems building on Linux, you need to install libxdo-dev or equivalent package.

Alternatively, you can build from source:

git clone https://github.com/0xdea/jiggy
cd jiggy
cargo build --release

Note: if run into problems building on Linux, you need to install libxdo-dev or equivalent package.

Run jiggy as follows:

jiggy [check_interval_in_secs]

Note: on macOS, you might need to grant Accessibility privileges to your terminal application.

Enums§

Void: Empty enum to emulate the never type ! and avoid using #![feature(never_type)].

run: Check the mouse position every interval; jiggle the mouse pointer and scroll the wheel if the position hasn’t changed.
