TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR WORKSTATION!!! Mouse Mover 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.
