Considered details

Organic movement
Natural, layered sine-wave cursor motion that mimics a real hand on the mouse. Adjustable distance from a gentle nudge to a dramatic wobble.
Smart conditions
Only shake when CPU is busy, Music is playing, a disk is mounted, or a specific app is running. Set the rules, the app follows them.
Safety guards
Automatically pauses on battery, when the screen locks, or when specific apps are in the foreground. No wasted energy.
Flexible intervals
Shake every 5 seconds, every 24 hours, or anything in between. Six presets from quick to leisurely.
Menu bar only
Lives in your menu bar. No dock icon, no windows. A tiny cursor icon that changes when shaking.
Launch at login
Set it once. It starts when your Mac starts. You never think about it again.

One price.
No subscriptions.

Buy once, own forever. Every future update included. No account needed, no tracking, no nonsense.
