Jiggler 1.2 released by Stick Software

Freeware app for Mac OS X will keep your computer awake for important tasks

Redwood City, CA, December 14, 2004 — Stick Software announced version 1.2 of Jiggler, a freeware utility for Mac OS X. Jiggler keeps your Mac awake through those lengthy tasks when it would rather fall asleep, by jiggling your mouse periodically. No more having to open System Preferences to change your sleep time and your screensaver delay, only to have to change them back again at the end. Just jiggle!

Version 1.2 of Jiggler has lots of bells and whistles. You can jiggle for a preset period of time and then stop, to keep your machine awake through a long job and then allow it to fall asleep at the end. You can set Jiggler to jiggle automatically whenever your machine's processor is busy, or whenever a CD or DVD is being burned, or whenever a particular application is running. And there's an onscreen indication that Jiggler is active, to reassure you that your machine is being kept awake!

Jiggler joins Stick Software products such as PhotoReviewer, Eyeballs, Trisection, Fracture, BigFoot, Measles, Aquatint and Constrictor. It is freeware; if you like it, please check out our shareware products, and pay for the shareware you use.
