Natural or silent
In “Natural” mode the pointer glides across the screen in smooth paths. In “Silent” mode it stays put – Wakewisp only reports activity to the system. Ideal for reading or presenting.

Your Mac stays awake.
Your Mac stays awake.
With a whisper of motion.
Wakewisp gently moves the pointer once you’ve been idle for a while – so your screen, status and downloads don’t fall asleep. With schedules, quick start and rules. Try every feature free for 5 days, then a one-time €4.99 – no subscription.

Features
Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.
Everything you expect from a mouse jiggler – and a few things you won’t see coming.
Schedule
9 to 6, weekdays only? Wakewisp turns itself on and off – even past midnight if you like.
Your zone
Drag out an area on your screen – the pointer only moves there. So clicks only land in a spot where they don’t trigger anything.
And there’s more
Humanize
Irregular rhythm, changing pace, slight jitter, the occasional small overshoot. Nothing looks mechanical.
Quick Start
Right-click the icon: 30 minutes, 2 hours or until the end of your day. The remaining time shows right in the menu bar.
Only when app
Only while Teams, Zoom or Keynote are running – in front or in the background. You choose the list.
Energy & battery
Keeps the display awake, pauses when the screen is locked and turns itself off when the battery runs low.
History & streak
Awake time per day, a weekly chart and your streak in days – see at a glance how Wakewisp works for you.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does Wakewisp cost?
The first 5 days are free – with every feature. After that, unlock Wakewisp for good with a one-time purchase of €4.99. No subscription, no pro tier, no ads.
What happens after the trial?
Wakewisp pauses and shows you the purchase option. Nothing is charged automatically – you decide whether to buy the full version.
Does the purchase work on multiple Macs?
Yes. The purchase is tied to your Apple Account. On any other Mac, just use “Restore Purchase”.
Why does Wakewisp need Accessibility access?
macOS only allows apps with this permission to generate mouse and keyboard events. Wakewisp uses it solely to move the pointer – it doesn’t read your input or store any of it.
Does Wakewisp move the mouse while I’m working?
No. Wakewisp waits until you’ve been idle for the set time. If you move the mouse during a glide, it stops immediately – and doesn’t click in that round.
Can I choose where the pointer moves?
Yes. With “Zone” you drag out an area on one of your displays. Wakewisp then only moves the pointer there – clicks also land only inside that zone. If the resolution changes, the zone adapts.
Does Wakewisp also prevent sleep?
Yes. If you like, Wakewisp keeps the display awake through a macOS system feature while it’s on. When the screen is locked or the battery is low, it pauses or stops.
Which version of macOS do I need?
macOS 15 Sequoia or later, on Macs with Apple silicon or Intel.
Does Wakewisp collect data?
No. Settings and history stay on your Mac, with no analytics or ads. Apple handles the trial and purchase through the App Store – we never see payment details. This website uses no cookies or tracking.
Can I automate Wakewisp?
Yes – with Siri, with actions in the Shortcuts app, through a Focus filter or with URL commands like wakewisp://start?min=30.
