AwaySitter, the Mouse Jiggler That Says What It Does

awaysitter.com Observed source
Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A portable Windows utility that sends small synthetic mouse movements while you step away, keeping idle-based status indicators active.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The user sets an inactivity threshold between 30 seconds and five minutes, activates the app with its beacon or F8, and can review movement events in a local log. Optional scroll and F15 key-tap behaviors are disabled by default. The page explicitly notes that Windows exposes injected input through the `LLMHF_INJECTED` flag, making clear that preserving an idle timer is not the same as evading software that detects synthetic input.
