macOS 14+ · More than just a mouse jiggling app

George Is Looking Busy

Simulates mouse and keyboard activity after you go idle.

George lives in the menu bar. When you stop using the Mac, he moves the cursor and can click or paste only where you said. Option-Shift-Esc if someone walks in.

He waits. Then he moves the mouse.

Movement is always on once George is armed. Clicks and text stay off until you enable them. Nothing is clicked at random.

George Is Looking Busy General settings: idle timeout and mouse movement cadence

Waits until you are idle

Arm him and walk away. George watches for real mouse and keyboard use, then starts after the timeout you set. Or skip the wait and start immediately.

Moves the mouse

Every N seconds, or a random wait. The cursor moves because you armed him, not because a screensaver kicked in.

Clicks only where you said

You mark the spots. After a run of mouse moves, George clicks one of them, in order or at random. He only clicks what you added.

Pastes your phrases

Clicks the spot you marked, pastes a line, can press Enter. Handy for a command in a terminal you already opened.

Sounds like someone is there

Typing bursts, the occasional hmm, a throat-clear. Optional. Toggle it from the menu extra.

Panic: Option-Shift-Esc

Someone walks in. Option-Shift-Esc and George disarms.
