Wakey Wakey

Your Mac stays awake.
You stay focused.

A tiny menu bar app that simulates subtle mouse movements when you're idle — so your screen never sleeps, your status stays active, and your flow stays unbroken.

brew install --cask brndnsvr/tap/wakeywakey
1 Click the cup in your menu bar
2 Pick a timer — or go indefinite
3 Forget about it. That's the point.

Built for your workflow

Menu bar only

No Dock icon, no windows. Lives quietly in your menu bar until you need it.

Smart activation

Only moves the cursor after 42 seconds of true idle time. Never interrupts active work.

Timed sessions

1, 4, or 8 hours with automatic disable. Set it and forget it.

Multi-monitor

Cursor stays on your active display. Never jumps to another screen.

Launch at login

Start automatically with your Mac. One-time setup, zero daily friction.

Open source

Free forever. MIT licensed. No tracking, no analytics, no nonsense.

Why not just caffeinate?

Because you shouldn't need a terminal open to keep your screen awake. WakeyWakey lives in your menu bar, has a proper timer, knows which monitor you're on, and cleans up after itself. It's caffeinate for people that like options.
