What it does
Stealth mode sends a single zero-delta mouse event at the cursor's current position. The system idle timer resets. The cursor doesn't visibly move.
How it works
When stealth mode is on, the engine bypasses the layered sine-wave path and posts a single CGEvent at the resting position. That event is real input as far as macOS is concerned — it counts. Nobody on the other side of a screen share sees the cursor twitch.
Where to find it
Settings → Shake → Invisible mode. Toggle on, and the distance slider greys out (it doesn't apply).
When to use it
Anytime your screen is being watched: video calls, screen recordings, demos, screenshots, or just when you don't want a tiny cursor twitch in the corner of your eye.
How it compares
Most mouse jigglers that advertise a 'stealth' or '1-pixel' mode actually do move the cursor by one pixel — and at high resolution, that's visible if you look. Stealth mode in Shake It On posts a zero-delta event, so there's literally no movement to see.
Tips
- Pair with click events for the most reliable wake-the-presence-app combination.
- It still respects every smart condition — you can stealth-jiggle while screen-sharing only when the camera is in use.
