Chrome extension

Walk away.
Stay awake.

Max Mouse Mover nudges your cursor on a randomized schedule, so your computer doesn't doze off in the middle of a download, a render, or a slide deck. Switch it on and go.

How it works

Three moves. Done.

There's nothing to configure. It waits in your Chrome toolbar until you need it.

01

Add the extension

Install it from the Chrome Web Store and pin it to your toolbar. There is nothing else to set up.

02

Make an account

It takes seconds and starts a 3-day trial with no card. Already paying? Paste your activation key instead.

03

Hit the switch

Choose how often it nudges, flip the toggle, walk away. It keeps going until you turn it off.

Features

It keeps you on. It also keeps you current.

Max Mouse Mover includes two extras: a catch-up screen for what happened while you were gone, and a running tally of the time it has covered.

Away Brief

Come back to a summary, not a mess.

While MMM runs, it logs the notifications that arrive. The second you're back at your desk, a single screen lists what you missed, sorted by app with the newest on top.

  • Pops open by itself when you return
  • Sorted by app: Slack, Teams, Mail, Calendar and more
  • Lives on your device and is never uploaded
Insights

See what the hours add up to.

Insights counts every minute MMM has kept your machine awake, so you can see what it's actually worth: a lifetime total, the last seven days, and how much of that time you were truly away.

  • Lifetime hours covered
  • Seven-day chart with today lit up
  • Session count, away time and your streak

Included in the Chrome extension. Part of every plan and the free trial.

Why it works

Small nudge. Big difference.

Real input, not a trick

MMM produces ordinary cursor movement inside your browser, the way a hand on a mouse would, so tools that watch for idle time see regular input. There is no fake network traffic.

~0%

CPU while it runs. It rests between nudges, and your battery barely notices.

Never the same twice

Timing and direction are randomized, so there's no tidy loop repeating on your screen.

Screen stays lit

Sleep and screensavers are held off too, so long idle stretches don't turn into black screens.

FAQ

Straight answers.

What does it actually do?

Every so often it moves the cursor a pixel or two, in a randomized pattern, then puts it back where it was. Your operating system treats that as input and resets its idle clock, which holds off sleep, screensavers and the "away" status in chat apps. You can keep working normally while it runs.

Is it okay to use at work?

That's up to your employer's policies, and we can't promise anything about what a company's own monitoring tools may record. Max Mouse Mover is built for keeping machines awake through renders, downloads and presentations. It isn't meant for misrepresenting your hours or activity, so please don't use it that way.

Which apps does it work with?

Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Zoom, Google Chat, and any other web app that marks you idle after a stretch of inactivity.

Will it slow my computer down?

No. It rests between nudges and uses almost no CPU, so you won't see a performance hit or extra battery drain.

What does $8.99 a month include?

The Chrome extension on every computer you sign in on, with the Away Brief, Insights, automatic updates and priority support. You start with a free 3-day trial and can cancel from your account whenever you like.

What's the Away Brief?

While MMM is running, it logs the notifications that arrive. When you come back, it shows a short summary grouped by app. It's on by default, and the brief stays in your browser without ever being uploaded.

How are Insights hours counted?

Insights adds up the time MMM spent keeping your machine awake, and separately the portion of it when you were actually away from the keyboard. The numbers are calculated on your device, work offline, and aren't visible to anyone else.

How do I cancel?

Go to your account page and press Manage plan. It opens the secure billing portal, where cancelling takes one click.
