Jiggy is a minimalistic (but effective) cross-platform mouse jiggler written in Rust. It might be useful for a number of

"reasons".

*Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any problems that might arise due to using this program to pretend you're "working

from home".*

## Features

* Minimalistic (but effective) mouse jiggler, with no setup needed.

* As implemented, mouse jiggling won't interfere with your regular activities.

* Thanks to non-invasive mouse wheel scrolling, the new Microsoft Teams should not display you as away.

* Cross-platform support for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
