Mouse Insomnia

Mouse Insomnia

Keep your Mac awake with gentle, human-like mouse movements.

Whether you’re vibe-coding, running long simulations, or simply need your Mac to stay awake, Mouse Insomnia is the lightweight, menu bar app that just works.

Activate it in a click, and your Mac will stay awake indefinitely or for a set duration—no more unexpected sleep interruptions. When you’re ready to resume control, simply click your mouse or keyboard, and Mouse Insomnia stops instantly.

How It Works
	•	Activate from Menu Bar: Start Mouse Insomnia instantly from its icon in your menu bar.
	•	3-Second Countdown: A brief timer gives you a moment to step away.
	•	Gentle Mouse Movements: Small, random motions (5–30 pixels) every 150ms prevent sleep.
	•	Intelligent Pausing: Human-like movement patterns with randomized pauses (3–21s) and intervals (30–180s).
	•	Automatic Stop: Any mouse click, scroll, or keypress ends the service immediately.
	•	Timer Options: Run indefinitely (default) or set a custom duration.

Privacy & Permissions

We respect your privacy:
	•	No monitoring or storing keystrokes
	•	No tracking of your real mouse movements
	•	No data collection or analytics
	•	No internet transmission or file access

Mouse Insomnia uses local event monitoring (not global) to detect basic input activity and requires macOS accessibility permissions solely to move your mouse cursor.

Why You’ll Love It
	•	Simple, clean, and reliable
	•	Lives in your menu bar—easy to activate or stop
	•	Perfect for coding marathons, streaming, rendering, simulations, or any task that shouldn’t be interrupted by sleep
