Undetectable desktop activity simulator
Take a break. Your computer won't.
Lumous keeps your Windows or Mac desktop naturally active with coordinated mouse, keyboard, clicking, scrolling, tab, and app activity. It runs discreetly in the background and is proven undetectable across Hubstaff, Time Doctor, and other major time trackers.
Full-workday tracker tests available to watch.
Everything a working desktop does. Without you.
Adaptive work rhythms
Automatically shifts between typing, reading, navigation, mixed work, and quieter thinking periods throughout the session.
Safe, controlled clicks
Restrict clicks to custom Safe Click Zones or keep them at one approved position with Click In-Place.
Flexible keyboard activity
Choose Silent Keys or natural character typing with varied speed, pauses, and corrections.
Always-changing desktop
Rotates through browser tabs and open, unminimized applications while never switching to Lumous itself.
Discreet by design
Runs minimized as Reminders, stays out of application rotation, and keeps its interface out of tracker screenshots.
Control without complexity
Start quickly with one activity level or fine-tune every activity type independently in Advanced Mode.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about how Lumous works
No. Lumous is undetectable by Hubstaff and Time Doctor because it coordinates mouse, keyboard, clicking, scrolling, tabs, applications, timing, and screen changes instead of repeating a basic cursor loop. In our recorded June 2026 tests, an 8-hour Hubstaff session and a 10-hour-22-minute Time Doctor session completed without unusual-activity reports.
Lumous is routinely tested in extended unattended sessions across major time trackers. We review screenshots, activity intervals, application and website reports, focus and work-time data, and unusual-activity results. Our published 8-hour Hubstaff and 10-hour-22-minute Time Doctor reports are detailed public examples of that broader testing.
Lumous includes Safe Click Zones, Click In-Place, and Silent Keys to keep automated interactions controlled and prevent unwanted clicks or visible typing. When you return, press Ctrl+Shift+K to stop the session before resuming work; the shortcut works globally without bringing the Lumous window forward.
No personal computer activity is collected. Lumous does not monitor, record, or transmit your screen contents, keystroke contents, browsing activity, files, or personal content. It communicates only what is needed to validate your license and check for updates.
Lumous One costs $5 month-to-month or $48 per year ($4 per month when billed annually), and both options begin with a 7-day free trial. Every feature and safety control is included, along with free lifetime updates.
