Keep Active - Prevent your computer from going idle by automatically moving your mouse


Description:
Keep Active tool is a simple utility designed to prevent your computer from going to sleep by automatically simulating mouse movement. It's a set-and-forget solution: simply launch the program and leave your mouse cursor on the desired screen, and "Keep Active" will subtly move it at your specified intervals.

You don't need to close the program to regain control; the moment you move your mouse, the tool automatically pauses, allowing you to use your computer normally. It will then intelligently resume its function once you stop using the mouse again. Just tell it how often to move the mouse, and it handles the rest.

Need to get control of your mouse again? No need to close the program. When you move the mouse, it will automatically stop and wait until you're not using the mouse again then resume.

How to use:
1. To use 'Keep Active', specify how often the mouse should be moved. The mouse will move automatically based on the time you select.

2. Choose how long you want to keep your computer active. Available durations: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 24, 36 hours, or Unlimited.
