## What is Screen Saver Killer?

TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR WORKSTATION!!!
Screen Saver Killer is an app whose sole function is to "fake" mouse input to your computer. Useful for avoiding screen-savers/lock screens that are triggered by inactivity. This means you can stop entering your password 57 times per day!

DO NOT CONNECT your iPhone to your workstation. Just place your mouse over the app screen on your phone. The proprietary/patented imaging technology fools the mouse into thinking it is moving - deactivating the screen saver/lock screen. (You may need to experiment with the angle of the mouse.)

If you're giving a presentation, or just watching a movie, and you don't want your lock screen constantly popping up, the Screen Saver Killer is the perfect app. 

Uses:
* Great for remote workers and telecommuters.
* Keep your chat software green during long lunches.
* Stop a screensaver/lock screen when you step away from your desk.
* Stop a screensaver/lock screen when attending a meeting.
* Great for presentations.
* Great for on-line training.
* Stop a screensaver/lock screen when watching a video.
* Keep your VPN up when inactive at your workstation.
* Keep workstation from going to sleep on long operations.
* Stop a screensaver/lock screen when your attention is on another console.
* Stop a screensaver/lock screen from activating during an installation or long operations.


Features:
* Optional deactivation timer - keep your screen up however long YOU want.
* Unlike USB devices, this app is not detectable by system admins.
* Includes settings page to customize the app for your mouse.
* Compatible with iOS7, so you can use that old iPhone or iPod.

you must disable auto-lock when using this app.

### 1/5 — does nothing

*2025-05-28, version 1.4*

just a blank, white screen.  does absolutely nothing

### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work

*2024-11-07*

The screen is blank and there are no settings to change the animation/lines. When you click on app support, you go to a shutdown webpage. This is a fraudulent app only to steal your money.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2024-05-06*

I have this running on my desk with an old Microsoft red led mouse. I also have it installed on an iPad where it is being used by THREE old Logitech mice - (3 laptops) at the same time! Saves me so much time not having to enter a password constantly.

**Developer response:** Thanks for review!!

### 5/5 — Update please

*2024-03-14*

This works perfectly with my older device. iPhone 6 operating system iOS12.5.7. My newer phone only shows a blank white screen. It would be nice if this were updated for newer devices.

### 1/5 — Blank white box

*2023-06-12, version 1.4*

Title

### 1/5 — Garbage!!!

*2023-03-06*

Do not purchase waste of money, big scam!!!

**Developer response:** Please make sure you are using an old red led wired mouse; Logitech, Microsoft, and HP branded mice are proven. You may need to adjust the angle of the mouse. Please see comments from other successful users. If you find you can get this to work with a little tinkering, please update your review.

### 1/5 — App does Nothing!

*2023-01-02, version 1.4*

Just a blank white box. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2022-12-16*

Doesn’t work. Period. Does not work no matter what the developer claims.  Wasted 45 minutes “experimenting”.  A rip off.

### 1/5 — App not functional

*2022-10-21*

This app doesn’t even work, it is a blank screen. Do not spend the 2 dollars just to find out it’s a scam. I will be opening a case and getting my money back. How did you even manage to launch a blank screen application? This app needs to be taken down and the creator banned.

### 1/5 — DOESNT WORK

*2022-08-13*

Does not work. Do not buy
