Shake It OnKeeps your Mac awake and your Slack, Teams and Zoom status green, with cursor movement that looks like a real hand on the mouse.
$9.99 once.
Shake It On is a menu bar app that moves your cursor in small, smooth arcs and puts it back on the exact same pixel. macOS sees real input, so the screen stays on and Slack, Teams and Zoom keep showing you as active. Your coffee break no longer turns you yellow.
Rules decide when it runs: only while a certain app is open, only during work hours, and it pauses itself on battery, when the screen locks or when your camera comes on.
