Awake while you need it. Gone when you don’t.

A jiggler that runs on the box's own clock, a name you choose, and a switch that unplugs its own keyboard and mouse when you walk away.

Awake when you need it. Unplugged when you don’t.

Mouse Jiggler

Keeps the other computer awake for you.

Tiny nudges on a timer or a daily schedule, so a long job does not stall behind a lock screen. Start and stop it after a set time or at a clock time, or give it a repeating daily window. It runs on the box’s own clock and survives a restart.

Name This Device

Call it something you’ll remember.

Give it a name and you can reach it by that name on most devices, or use the address shown on its screen. Until you set one, it announces nothing.

It can unplug itself when you’re away.

Turn on Auto-disconnect when idle and, after 15 minutes without activity, it detaches its own keyboard and mouse from the target, so nothing is attached while you are not using it. The other boxes stay plugged in the whole time.
