Zuturno for Mac
Zuturno is a desktop app for macOS 12 and later that keeps your Mac active while you step away. It simulates mouse movement, scrolling, clicks and app switching, at a frequency you choose, so your Mac doesn't go to sleep, lock the screen or close your sessions. It runs locally, in the background, and you download it from this website (it is not in the Mac App Store).
What you can turn on
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Mouse movement | Moves the cursor at the pace you set |
| Mouse scrolling | Scrolls the active window |
| Application switching | Switches between your open apps |
| Mouse click | Clicks in place (off by default) |
On Mac, Zuturno has these four actions; keyboard activity is available on Windows. You also pick one of three activity levels: Low (spaced-out, discreet actions; 30–50% in the app), Medium (40–60%) or High (50–70%).
Shortcuts on Mac
- ⌘ + 1: start Zuturno and move it to the background; press it again to stop when you're back.
- ⌘ + 8: hide or show the Zuturno window without starting it (hidden mode).
- ⌘ + 0: force quit Zuturno instantly.
