A Linux X11 alternative to Mouse Jiggle. Disclaimer: Independent open-source project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Arkane Systems. Pointer motion synthesis and screen-saver reset require an X11 session (XTest/XResetScreenSaver); Wayland-native windows isolate pointer injection across clients.
FEATURES • Jiggle Control: Start/Stop real X11 cursor jiggling in Normal Visible (12px), Zen (1px & Back), or Reset ScreenSaver Only modes with configurable interval (1s-120s), distance (1px-40px), live X11 pointer coordinates, and elapsed active timer. • Smart Auto-Pause & Schedule: automatically pauses while you are actively moving the mouse (comparing live pointer deltas against synthetic warps), auto-stop countdown timer (15m / 30m / 1h / 2h / custom), and system tray minimize support. • Activity Log & Calibration: timestamped table of every X11 jiggle event with CSV export, one-click Test Single Jiggle Now, and screen bounds / XTest motion calibration.
