Frequently asked questions

Still Here is a software mouse jiggler that goes far beyond simple cursor movement. It simulates realistic mouse movement, keyboard typing, scrolling, app switching, and even opens real applications. Hardware USB mouse jigglers only move your cursor in small circles, which activity trackers like Hubstaff and Time Doctor can detect. Still Here is designed for remote workers and work-from-home professionals who need to stay active and keep their screen awake without triggering idle alerts.

Yes. Still Here runs silently from the system tray with no suspicious processes, no browser extensions, and no network traffic. Unlike hardware mouse jigglers, it simulates full human activity including keyboard typing, app switching, and scrolling. It doesn't appear in common activity logs used by monitoring tools like Hubstaff, ActivTrak, or Time Doctor.

Yes. Still Here is a cross-platform mouse jiggler app available for Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS, and Linux. All features work the same across platforms. It runs as a native desktop application, not a browser extension.

Still Here goes far beyond what Caffeine or Move Mouse offer. Those tools only prevent sleep by simulating a key press. Still Here simulates full human activity — realistic mouse movement with Bézier curves, keyboard typing, scrolling, app switching, and opening real apps via CLI. It keeps your status green on Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, and other work apps. It's a complete mouse jiggler replacement.

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.

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.

Still Here integrates with VS Code (and other code editors like Cursor, Zed, Sublime), Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, ClickUp, Notion, Figma, Browser, Outlook, Spotify, and Zoom. Code editors get full CLI simulation — opening real files and switching tabs. Other apps are opened and brought to the foreground to simulate natural app switching.

Ghost ($5/mo) gives you the full simulator — mouse, keyboard, scroll, clicks, and tab switching with unlimited time. Phantom ($10/mo) adds app integrations that open and control real apps via CLI, plus scheduled activation and more devices.

Yes. The Ghost plan includes a 7-day free trial — no credit card required upfront. The Chill plan is completely free forever with basic mouse movement and 30 minutes per day. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime.

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.

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.

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.
