July 27, 2025 Launch!

The idea for this app started when a few of my friends were dealing with overbearing managers. Their managers were obsessed with the status dot on Teams—if it wasn't green, my friends would get passive-aggressive message.

I wanted to build something to help them, a discreet tool that could give them a bit of breathing room. Hardware jigglers felt risky; plugging a strange USB into a company laptop is a good way to get unwanted attention from IT, which was the last thing they needed.

So, I built StayGreen to run entirely from their personal phone.

It's not just about moving the cursor from point A to point B. I focused on making the activity look genuinely human. The Pro version uses randomized action delays, curved Bézier paths for mouse movement, and even simulates typos to create a believable presence that a simple script can't replicate.

I initially built it just for my friends, but I realized many more people are probably in the same boat. I'm sharing it here today to get your feedback and see if it could help others too.

I'm happy to answer any questions. Thanks for checking it out!
