Click one spot or an area you draw, or move the mouse the way a person would. Touch the mouse and it pauses. Runs on Intel and Apple Silicon, macOS 11 or later.
Free, and no account needed. No trial, no expiry.
On Windows? Get the Windows version.
Pick a mode and press Start. The first time, macOS asks once for Accessibility access so the app can click. That's it.
Choose one exact spot, or draw a box and it clicks somewhere inside it. Clicks land at random intervals inside the range you set, so the rhythm isn't mechanical.
Nothing to pick. The mouse drifts a little, the way yours does while you read. Choose how long, press Start, and leave it.

Touch the mouse and it pauses, then carries on once you stop. While it runs it folds down to a small bar you can park in a corner.
Pick your days and hours, add a lunch break. Start and stop times shift by a few minutes each day, so it isn't clocking in at 9:00 sharp.

Green Dotter has to be open, the tray is fine, and your computer on and signed in. It can't wake a sleeping computer. It's new, so if something looks off, tell us.
Two modes, one free app. Click a safe area or wiggle your mouse naturally. Runs on Intel and Apple Silicon.
macOS doesn’t know the difference between “actually busy” and “staring at a long document.” So it sleeps. Green Dotter keeps it awake, with controlled clicks in a safe area, or just a smooth mouse wiggle if that’s all you need.
Select a safe area of your screen where clicks can land: a blank document, a quiet sidebar, an empty panel. Anywhere that won't cause trouble if clicked.
Choose how often Green Dotter clicks. It uses randomised timing so the pattern isn't mechanical or repetitive.
Green Dotter clicks inside your chosen area on a natural schedule. Move the mouse and it pauses automatically. When you stop, it picks back up.
You choose exactly where clicks happen. Green Dotter clicks inside the area you define, keeping you in control and avoiding accidental clicks on buttons, forms, or anything important.
Clicks happen at natural intervals, not rigid fixed timers. Less mechanical, and more predictable for long sessions.
No target area, no clicking. Just smooth, human-style mouse movement. Switch to Wiggle only, set your stop time, go.
The moment you move the mouse, Green Dotter pauses. No fighting the app for control of your own cursor.
A build made for M-series Macs, so it runs lean and launches fast. Download it and it just works.
Green Dotter is a local desktop app. Nothing to sign up for. Nothing personal is sent, only anonymous usage stats.
No trial. No expiry. Just download and use it.

A mouse jiggler moves the cursor. A power setting is broad and permanent. Green Dotter clicks exactly where you choose, on a natural schedule, and stops when you're back.
macOS requires Accessibility permission before any app can perform click events on your screen. That is the system doing its job, and it's right to ask.
Green Dotter uses that permission for one thing: clicking inside the area you choose. It does not record your screen. It does not read your messages. It does not need your Slack, Teams, or Discord login. It is a local desktop utility.
You can review and remove permissions at any time in macOS System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility.
Download it and press Start.
Controlled clicks, simple setup. Green Dotter clicks where you tell it to, on a natural schedule, and gets out of your way when you're back.
