Desktop simulators: Reaction, LazyWork, Trick Tack
All three install on the machine and simulate mouse movement, keystrokes and app switching. Reaction costs $7 a month or $50 a year with a 14-day trial, everything included. LazyWork splits this across three tiers from $7.99 to $49.99 a month, and the human-like behavior sits in the $49.99 Elite plan. Trick Tack is the same class.
- Reaction: $7/month, $50/year, 14-day trial, one plan.
- LazyWork: three tiers, $7.99 to $49.99/month, 7-day trial (Elite has none).
- Reaction runs on Windows, macOS and Linux; LazyWork on Windows and macOS.
Online jigglers live in a browser tab
Sites like movemycursor.com are free and install nothing. A page cannot move the system cursor outside its own tab, so anything watching the whole desktop sees nothing.

Mouse jiggler
Hardware dongles move the mouse physically
A USB dongle rocks the mouse from outside the computer, so nothing is installed. The trade-off: one hard-wired pattern you cannot adjust, and it works only while the mouse sits on it.
Which class fits you
If you cannot install software, a dongle is the only option. If you can, a desktop app gives a configurable range and idle-only activation.
- No install allowed: hardware dongle.
- Full desktop control: a simulator app.
- Longest trial: Reaction, 14 days.
In short
The classes differ in reach and price, and both are verifiable before paying.
Let Reaction hold the number for you
Set your activity band, turn on hidden mode, and Reaction keeps a natural, human-like level while you are away — and hands control back the moment you return.
