This month I wrote a small Windows utility to keep a PC "always awake": prevents the PC from going to sleep (using a Windows API that exists just for that) and simulates invisible mouse movements every 60 seconds to keep apps like MS Teams happy, so that the user always appears active.

There is a PowerToy thingy that's similar but it's full of options and command-line flags. My version has no options, it's just a tray utility that can be toggled on (green) or off (orange) with double-click. There are also physical mouse jigglers but they're cumbersome, and many have visible mouse movements, which is extremely annoying (not all of them do this but many do!)

The full install file is just 100Kb, works on all versions of Windows starting with Win7, installs without admin rights. Can't live without it!

I need to make a website for it but I'm procrastinating on that one last step...
