Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Still Here. Reach out to us.
Why should I use Still Here?
Still Here simulates natural computer activity — mouse movement, typing, scrolling, and app switching — so your screen never locks and your status stays active. It's designed for remote workers who need to step away without triggering idle alerts.
Will anyone know I'm using it?
No. Still Here runs silently from the system tray. It doesn't install any browser extensions, doesn't modify your system, and doesn't appear in common activity logs. Global hotkeys let you start and stop instantly.
What operating systems are supported?
Still Here is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. All features work the same across platforms.
Is it better than a physical mouse jiggler?
Yes. Physical jigglers only move the cursor in small circles. Still Here simulates full human activity — typing, scrolling, switching apps, and opening files. It's much more convincing to activity monitoring software.
Does Still Here collect my data?
No. Still Here does not collect, transmit, or store any data from your computer. Everything runs locally. The only network activity is checking your subscription license. Your privacy is fully protected.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time from your dashboard. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period. No questions asked, no cancellation fees.
Which apps does Still Here integrate with?
Still Here integrates with 13+ apps including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, ClickUp, Notion, Figma, VS Code (and 18+ other code editors), Browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Arc, Brave), Outlook, Spotify, and Zoom. Each app has configurable actions like switching channels, opening files, and scrolling messages.
Can it detect if I'm being tracked?
Yes. The Auto-Activate feature (Phantom plan) monitors for known tracking software including Hubstaff, TimeDoctor, Toggl, Clockify, DeskTime, ActivTrak, Teramind, and more. When a tracker is detected and you've been idle, Still Here automatically starts simulation.
What's the difference between Ghost and Phantom?
Ghost ($5/mo) gives you the full simulator — mouse, keyboard, scroll, clicks, and tab switching with unlimited time. Phantom ($10/mo) adds 13+ app integrations that simulate real work in Slack, Teams, VS Code, and more, plus auto-activate when tracking software is detected.
Does it require special permissions?
On macOS, you need to grant Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions in System Settings. The app guides you through this with live permission status indicators and one-click buttons to open the right settings pane. Windows and Linux generally don't require any extra permissions.
Can I customize the simulation behavior?
Yes. Every simulation type — mouse movement, keyboard typing, scrolling, clicks, and window switching — has individually configurable intervals, speeds, and modes. You can adjust typing WPM from 1 to 300, set mouse movement intervals down to 0.01 seconds, and enable or disable each activity type independently. Or just use the Low, Medium, or High presets for quick setup.
How do the global hotkeys work?
Ctrl+1 starts the simulator and hides the window. Ctrl+2 toggles window visibility. Ctrl+0 is an emergency stop that immediately halts all simulation. These hotkeys work globally even when another application is focused or the window is hidden.
