What Stayaway does
Stayaway keeps your computer active with activity that moves the way a person does, and gets out of your way the moment you are back. Here is each part of it, and which plan includes it.
On every plan
Free for good, with no time limit.
Mouse ActivityFree
Moves the pointer along curved, eased paths with pauses, the way a hand does.
Stayaway moves the pointer from where it is to a nearby point along a curved path that speeds up and slows down, then rests before the next move. It never jumps across the screen on a fixed timer, which is what a basic mouse jiggler does.
Emergency StopFree
Alt+X stops everything at once, from any app.
A global shortcut that ends every kind of activity immediately, whatever the app is doing and even with its window closed. The shortcut can be changed.
Tray and shortcutsFree
Runs from the system tray, with a shortcut for each action.
Close the window and Stayaway keeps running in the system tray, where one click opens it. Start, stop, each kind of activity and the window all have shortcuts you can change.
With Pro
Every one of these is yours free for 7 days, with no card.
Keyboard ActivityPro
Presses harmless keys in short, varied bursts.
Some apps only count a key press as activity. Keyboard Activity presses keys chosen so they do not type text or delete anything, in short bursts with natural gaps rather than one key repeated on a timer.
Scroll ActivityPro
Scrolls the wheel by varying amounts, like someone reading.
Scrolls mostly down and sometimes back up, by different amounts each time, the pattern of a person reading a long page.
Screen RotationPro
Switches between your open apps, and optionally browser tabs, every few minutes.
A person at a computer moves between windows. Screen Rotation switches the app in front, and optionally the tab in your browser, at an interval you set.
Auto DetectPro
Starts on its own once you have been idle for a while.
Auto Detect watches how long the computer has been idle and starts a run when it passes the threshold you choose, so you do not have to remember to press Start before you step away.
Smart ResumePro
Stops the instant you move the mouse yourself.
Before each move, Stayaway checks whether the pointer is still where it left it. If you have moved it, the run ends at once, so the app never competes with you for the mouse. With Auto Detect, this makes a hands-free loop.
Activity LevelsPro
One dial, from Ultra Low to Ultra High, sets how busy the activity is.
Instead of tuning every interval, pick a level and the sliders move to its values. Change a slider yourself and the dial shows Custom, so it never names a level the app is not running.
Screen PresetsPro
Fits pointer and scroll travel to a single, dual or ultra-wide screen.
Choose Single, Dual or Ultra-Wide and Stayaway sets how far the pointer and the scroll wheel travel to suit the space you have.
Launch at loginPro
Starts with Windows and waits in the tray.
Stayaway can start when you sign in to Windows and wait quietly in the tray until you, or Auto Detect, start a run.
