How is Lumous different from a regular mouse jiggler?

Does Lumous work on both Windows and Mac?

Yes, Lumous works on both Windows (10 and 11) and macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon).

How much does Lumous cost?

Lumous costs $5 per month with a 7-day free trial. All features are included in one plan with no hidden tiers.

Before You Update

If Reminders is open on your computer, close it before you begin the update. This lets the installer replace the app cleanly.

The Downloads page has the latest Windows and macOS installers. You can also review the patch notes there to see the newest features, improvements, and fixes.

Your settings carry over. Updating Lumous does not require you to configure everything again.

Legacy support - Existing settings and preferences remain supported.
New features - Configure any newly added options whenever they fit your setup.

Update Lumous on macOS

Step 1: Download the macOS Installer

Open the Downloads page and choose the macOS installer that matches your Mac:

Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4, etc.)
Intel

Step 2: Open the DMG and Drag Reminders to Applications

Open the DMG you downloaded, then drag Reminders into the Applications folder.

Step 3: Replace the Existing App

Update Lumous on Windows

Step 1: Download the Windows Installer

Head to the Downloads page and download the Windows installer for Windows 10/11.

Step 2: Run the Windows Installer

Run the .exe installer you downloaded and follow the setup wizard. If Windows asks for permission to make changes, allow it. The installer uses the existing Reminders install location and replaces the previous app files with the new version.

You may also see optional setup choices like creating a desktop shortcut or launching Reminders when setup finishes. Once the installer completes, open Reminders and continue using Lumous normally.
