It’s not my habit to write this kind of article, but I want to share a free tool that can help many of you.

It all started with a crazy conversation with friends (Guillaume, Manu, and FX), where we wanted to test ChatGPT’s ability to rewrite code faster than a human. I gave it some code snippets and the code of my CopyCraft interface, asking it to adapt them to our needs.

In just one minute, the first version (V1) was born. Step by step, with everyone’s ideas, we ended up building a tool able to hack the Teams status: Auto Cursor GUI.

AutoClick – Periodic automatic clicks

What it does:
– Simulates regular mouse clicks in a neutral area of the screen.
– Each click is confirmed by the AutoClick progress bar at the bottom of the window.

Use cases:
– Prevent an app from pausing (ERP, internal messaging, monitoring).
– Simulate regular activity detected by Teams, Outlook, or Zoom.
– Test software interfaces by sending automated clicks (stress testing).

Mouse loop – Square or free path

What it does:
– Moves the cursor continuously in two modes:
• Centered square: cursor loops around the starting point.
• Free path: draw your own path and let the mouse follow it.
– Adjustable settings: size, speed, duration, smoothing, and density.

Use cases:
– Avoid Windows sleep or automatic lock.
– Keep a presentation or video running without interruption.
– Show visible “human” activity (cursor visibly moving).
– Run technical demos or UI stress tests.

KeepAlive – Keyboard/mouse activity simulation

What it does:
– Prevents system sleep and screen off (SetThreadExecutionState).
– Sends a SHIFT tap to simulate keyboard input.
– Adds a tiny mouse nudge (±1 pixel) if no movement is active.
– Displays a timestamp of the last simulated activity and a counter.

Use cases:
– Prevent Teams (or Slack/Zoom/Skype) from switching to Away.
– Keep an RDP session or VM alive without real interaction.
– Avoid auto-logouts from sensitive apps.
– More discreet than mouse moves: SHIFT tap doesn’t show on screen.

Possible combinations

The advantage of Auto Cursor GUI is that you can tick one or more options before starting:
– Teams / chat apps → tick all 3 (AutoClick + Mouse loop + KeepAlive).
– Movies or videos → only KeepAlive (no visible cursor).
– Visible demo → only Mouse loop.
– Tests or anti-AFK in apps → AutoClick + KeepAlive.

Conclusion

Auto Cursor GUI is a lightweight, portable, and efficient utility that solves a common issue: staying active in Windows and apps, whether for teamwork, presentations, or productivity.

Available as a .exe executable, it requires no installation.

The tool is portable, Windows 10/11 compatible, and 100% free.
