Mouse Jiggly Application


✨ Key Features

Two Operational Modes

🔵 Standard Mode

Physically moves the mouse cursor 1 pixel back and forth at your chosen interval.

Best for:

  • General use when cursor movement won't interfere
  • Debugging or testing cursor-based applications
  • Situations where visible confirmation is helpful

🟣 Zen Mode (Invisible)

Simulates mouse activity without visible cursor movement using offsetting Windows API events.

Best for:

  • Gaming, watching videos, or precision work
  • Presentations where cursor movement would be distracting
  • Multi-monitor setups where you're working on one screen
  • Any scenario requiring a stationary cursor

Customizable Interval

  • Adjust jiggle frequency from 1 to 99 seconds
  • Real-time updates with instant feedback
  • Default: 4 seconds (optimal for most use cases)

Zero Configuration

  • No installation required
  • No admin privileges needed
  • Portable - run from anywhere
  • Clean uninstall (just delete the .exe)

🚀 Quick Start

🛡️ Windows SmartScreen Warning

When running the application for the first time, Windows SmartScreen may display a warning:

"Windows protected your PC"
"Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting"

This is normal behavior for unsigned applications downloaded from the internet. To proceed safely:

Option 1: Bypass SmartScreen Warning

  1. Click "More info" (the link in the warning dialog)
  2. Click "Run anyway" button

Option 2: Unblock Files Before Running

  1. Right-click MouseJiggly.exe
  2. Select "Properties"
  3. At the bottom of the "General" tab, check the box "Unblock"
  4. Click "Apply" then "OK"
  5. Run the application normally

Why this happens:

  • Mouse Jiggly is not code-signed with a Microsoft Authenticode certificate
  • Code signing certificates cost $300-500/year for individual developers
  • This is a standard Windows security measure for downloaded executables
  • The application is completely safe - all source code is open and auditable
  • See our Security Audit for comprehensive analysis (zero vulnerabilities found)

For IT administrators:

  • The application can be whitelisted in Windows Defender or your antivirus software
  • No registry modifications or system-level changes are made
  • No admin privileges required to run
  • All code is transparent and available for review

Auto-Start on Windows Boot (Optional)

To have Mouse Jiggly start automatically:

  1. Press Win + R, type shell:startup, press Enter
  2. Create a shortcut to MouseJiggly.exe in this folder
  3. Restart Windows to test

📖 Usage Guide

Basic Operation

Starting a Jiggle Mode

  1. Launch the application by double-clicking MouseJiggly.exe
  2. Choose your mode:
    • Standard Mode: Check the "Jiggle?" checkbox
    • Zen Mode: Check the "Zen Mode?" checkbox
  3. Set your interval: Drag the slider to your preferred jiggle frequency (1-99 seconds)
  4. Verify status: The status box at the bottom will show active mode and interval

Example Status Messages:

Status: Standard jiggle active (every 4s)
Status: Zen mode active (every 10s)
Status: Inactive

Stopping the Jiggle

Simply uncheck the active mode checkbox. The status will change to "Inactive".

Advanced Usage

Mutual Exclusivity

Important: Standard Mode and Zen Mode are mutually exclusive.

  • Enabling one automatically disables the other
  • This prevents conflicting operations

Changing Interval While Running

You can adjust the interval slider at any time:

  • Changes take effect on the next jiggle cycle
  • No need to stop and restart
  • Status updates immediately

Window Management

  • Minimize: Window minimizes to taskbar, jiggle continues running
  • Resize: Drag corners/edges to resize (minimum: 350x280 pixels)
  • Close: Click X or Alt+F4 to stop and exit cleanly

Note: Closing the window stops all jiggling and exits the application.

Keyboard Shortcuts

  • Tab: Navigate between controls
  • Space: Toggle checkbox focus
  • Arrow Keys: Adjust slider value when focused
  • Alt + F4: Close application

🔧 Technical Details

Architecture Overview

Mouse Jiggly is built using modern C# and WPF with a focus on:

  • Simplicity: Single-window application, minimal UI
  • Efficiency: Direct Windows API calls, no middleware
  • Maintainability: Clean code architecture, comprehensive documentation

Technology Stack

Component Technology Version
Language C# 12
Framework .NET 9.0
UI Framework WPF (included in .NET)
Platform Windows 10+
APIs Win32 (user32.dll) Native

Windows API Integration

Mouse Jiggly uses three core Windows API functions:

1. GetCursorPos

[DllImport("user32.dll", ExactSpelling = true, SetLastError = false)]
private static extern bool GetCursorPos(out POINT lpPoint);

Purpose: Retrieves current mouse cursor position
Used in: Standard Mode to determine starting position

2. SetCursorPos

[DllImport("user32.dll", ExactSpelling = true, SetLastError = false)]
private static extern bool SetCursorPos(int X, int Y);

Purpose: Sets mouse cursor to specified coordinates
Used in: Standard Mode to physically move cursor

3. mouse_event

[DllImport("user32.dll", ExactSpelling = true, SetLastError = false)]
private static extern void mouse_event(uint dwFlags, int dx, int dy, uint dwData, UIntPtr dwExtraInfo);

Purpose: Synthesizes mouse motion and button clicks
Used in: Zen Mode to send offsetting movements

How It Works

Standard Mode Algorithm

  1. Get current cursor position (X, Y)
  2. Move cursor to (X + 1, Y) or (X - 1, Y)
  3. Alternate direction on each jiggle
  4. Result: Cursor oscillates ±1 pixel

Code Flow:

Timer Tick → GetCursorPos() → Calculate Offset → SetCursorPos() → Toggle Direction

Zen Mode Algorithm

  1. Send relative mouse move +1 pixel
  2. Immediately send relative mouse move -1 pixel
  3. Alternate pattern for event variation
  4. Result: No net cursor movement, but OS registers activity

Code Flow:

Timer Tick → mouse_event(+1) → mouse_event(-1) → Toggle Pattern

Why Zen Mode Works:

  • Windows recognizes mouse events for idle detection
  • Offsetting movements cancel spatially (cursor doesn't move)
  • System remains "active" without visible disruption

❓ FAQ

General Questions

Q: Is Mouse Jiggly free?
A: Yes, completely free and open-source under the MIT License.

Q: Does it work on Mac or Linux?
A: No, it's Windows-only. The application uses Windows-specific APIs (user32.dll).

Q: Do I need to install anything?
A: Only the .NET 9.0 Runtime (if using framework-dependent version). The self-contained version includes everything.

Q: Will my antivirus flag this?
A: Some antivirus software may show heuristic warnings due to mouse automation. All source code is auditable and safe. See SECURITY.md for details.

Q: Can my IT department detect this?
A: Yes. The application runs as MouseJiggly.exe in Task Manager and makes no attempt to hide. Always follow your organization's policies.

Technical Questions

Q: What's the difference between Standard and Zen Mode?
A: Standard Mode physically moves your cursor ±1 pixel (visible). Zen Mode simulates activity without moving the cursor (invisible).

Q: Can both modes run simultaneously?
A: No, they are mutually exclusive. Enabling one automatically disables the other.

Q: How much battery does it use on laptops?
A: Negligible (<0.1% CPU). The timer-based approach is extremely efficient.

Q: Does it work while the computer is locked?
A: No. Windows blocks input simulation on the lock screen for security reasons.

Q: Can I minimize the window and it still works?
A: Yes! Minimizing to the taskbar keeps it running. Only closing the window stops it.

Q: What happens if my computer crashes while running?
A: No issues. Mouse Jiggly doesn't write to disk or modify system settings. Just restart it.

Privacy & Security Questions

Q: Does it collect any data?
A: Absolutely not. Zero data collection, zero telemetry, 100% offline. See SECURITY.md.

Q: Does it need internet access?
A: No. The application is completely offline.

Q: Can it access my files or passwords?
A: No. It only has permission to read/write mouse cursor position. No file or credential access.

Q: Is the code auditable?
A: Yes! All source code is open and available in this repository.

Troubleshooting

Q: Windows shows "Windows protected your PC" warning
A: This is Windows SmartScreen protecting you from unsigned applications. The application is completely safe (see SECURITY.md):

  1. Click "More info" in the warning dialog
  2. Click "Run anyway" button
  3. Alternatively: Right-click MouseJiggly.exe → Properties → Check "Unblock" → Apply

Q: The application won't start
A:

  1. Did you extract ALL files from the ZIP? The .exe needs the DLL files to run (never separate them)
  2. Did you unblock the files? Right-click MouseJiggly.exe → Properties → Check "Unblock" → Apply
  3. Using framework-dependent version? Ensure you have .NET 9.0 Desktop Runtime installed from Microsoft
  4. Check Windows Event Viewer for specific error messages (Administrative Tools → Event Viewer → Windows Logs → Application)

Q: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142)"
A: You're missing required DLL files. Re-extract the entire ZIP and ensure ALL files are in the same folder:

  • Standalone: 6 files (MouseJiggly.exe + 5 DLLs)
  • Framework-dependent: 4 files (MouseJiggly.exe + 3 support files)

Q: Jiggle isn't working
A:

  1. Verify a mode checkbox is checked (Jiggle or Zen Mode)
  2. Check the status display shows "active"
  3. Ensure the application window isn't frozen

Q: My screen still goes to sleep
A: Your jiggle interval may be longer than your sleep timeout. Try a shorter interval (e.g., 1-2 minutes).

Q: Can I change the jiggle distance?
A: Currently fixed at ±1 pixel for minimal disruption. Modifying requires source code changes.
