MouseUtil 1.3.0 is out 🎉

MouseUtil is simple Windows utility with two main features: Auto Click & Mouse Jiggle (Spin Mode).

Download here: https://github.com/MouseUtil/MouseUtil/releases/tag/v1.3.0

This release adds several new features alongside under the hood fixes and improvements:

🎲 Randomized intervals - optionally vary the time between clicks/spins instead of using one fixed interval, with the randomized delay staying within the configured range.

⏱️ Advanced interval view - enable an advanced Hours/Minutes/Seconds/Milliseconds editor for much finer control, with improved validation and input handling.

🤓 Smarter interval input - all interval fields (and the Auto Stop count field) now truncate, cap to sensible maximums, reject non-numeric characters as you type, and never sit blank (they rest to 0).

🖱️ A much more useful system tray - the tray icon now shows whether MouseUtil is inactive, active, or paused, with an additional tooltip showing the current mode and state. You can also start Auto Click or Spin Mode, stop automation, and control pause-on-movement directly from the tray without opening the app.

Hope you enjoy 1.3.0! I'd love to hear your feedback - let me know what you think, and if there’s anything you’d like to see improved or added in a future release.

Hi everyone! A few days ago I presented my app here, MouseUtil.

MouseUtil is a native Windows 11/10 mouse-activity utility built with WinUI 3. It runs in one of two modes on a custom timer:

Auto click – clicks at wherever the cursor currently is without moving it.

Spin mode – sweeps the cursor around a tiny circle and returns it to the exact starting pixel, without clicking.

Keeps your PC awake and active by preventing it from going idle, locking, or entering sleep mode during long calls, downloads, or AFK sessions. It's also great for repetitive clicking tasks, keeping apps active, and automating simple interactions.

I released a new version, which fixes a major issue with the interval between clicks/spins. Before this fix, the timer was inaccurate.

You can download it here:

Or from the website:

Version 1.2.2

I found a couple of timing bugs affecting both Auto click and Spin mode.

On long runs, the app was gradually falling behind schedule - actions fired a bit less often than they should have, and the gap grew the longer it ran.

The cause was how the app measured time between actions - small timing errors were quietly building up instead of being corrected. Spin mode also had a smaller, separate issue on top of that, since its animation took a moment to run and that time wasn't being accounted for either.

Both are now fixed, so timing stays accurate and consistent no matter how long the app runs.

^(Edit: Description and links.)

MouseUtil is a lightweight Windows utility that keeps your mouse "active" by clicking or jiggling/moving in place, so your PC doesn't go idle, lock, or sleep during long calls, downloads, or AFK sessions. It runs natively on Windows 10/11 (WinUI 3 / .NET 8) with a clean, minimal interface.

Core features

• 🖱️ Two automation modes — Auto click, which sends a real left-click at a set interval, or Spin mode, which sweeps the cursor in a tiny circle and returns it to its exact starting pixel.
• ⏱️ Configurable interval — set the delay between actions in minutes and seconds.
• ✋ Pause on manual movement (in 'Spin mode') — if you touch the mouse yourself, MouseUtil automatically pauses and resumes on a fresh countdown once you stop, so it never fights you for control.
• 🛑 Auto-stop conditions — stop the run automatically after a set number of clicks/spins, or at a specific date and time.
• ⌨️ Global hotkey — start or stop automation from anywhere with a single keypress (F6 by default), even while another app is focused.
• 📊 Live status and progress — a real-time countdown ("Clicking in 12s"), action counter, and an optional progress bar mirrored onto the taskbar icon, all of which are optional.
• 📥 System tray support — optionally close the window to the tray instead of exiting, so automation keeps running in the background.
• 🎨 Fluent design with light/dark/system theming.
• ⚙️ Persisted config file, so your interval, mode, hotkey, and preferences are remembered between sessions.

📦 Unsigned installer: Ships as an unsigned .exe installer, so Windows SmartScreen may display a warning the first time you run it.

⚠️ Fair warning: I'm not a software developer. Before starting this project, my coding experience was basic HTML and CSS. This project was developed primarily using Claude Code, with me directing the architecture, reviewing the generated code, testing, and making iterative improvements. All code in this repository has been reviewed before release. The only asset not created with AI is the app icon, which I designed myself. This was initially intended to be shared among a small group of people.
