#### X11 pointer micro-jiggler & screen-awake keeper with Zen mode and scheduler

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.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install Cursor Jiggle Awake

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
