Lumous FAQ: Detection, Setup & Pricing
Product, setup, privacy, and billing answers in one place
Lumous is a desktop activity simulator that coordinates natural mouse movement, keyboard activity, clicking, scrolling, browser tabs, and open applications. Instead of repeating one action, it keeps the complete desktop changing naturally while you step away.
Lumous treats natural activity as one coordinated system. Work rhythms change throughout a session, clicks can be restricted to approved areas, Silent Keys can create keyboard activity without typing visible characters, and window-aware switching uses open, unminimized applications while excluding Lumous itself. It also runs discreetly as Reminders, includes granular controls, and has public endurance tests for Hubstaff and Time Doctor.
A regular mouse jiggler usually moves only the cursor, often through a small or repeating pattern. Lumous coordinates mouse movement, keyboard activity, clicking, scrolling, browser tabs, and desktop applications with varied timing, natural pauses, safeguards, and changing work rhythms.
Yes. Time trackers can detect basic mouse jigglers through known software or device records, repetitive input, mouse-only activity, static screenshots, and unchanged applications. Lumous stays undetectable by coordinating the complete desktop record instead of producing those giveaways.
Lumous stays undetectable by coordinating natural mouse movement, keyboard activity, clicks, scrolling, browser tabs, applications, pauses, and changing screen content as one system. Its varied work rhythms avoid the repetitive mouse-only patterns that make basic jigglers easy to spot.
Lumous routinely tests across all major time trackers, not only Hubstaff and Time Doctor. Four reports are currently available to watch: the latest 8-hour Hubstaff and 10-hour-22-minute Time Doctor 2 endurance tests, plus the earlier 5-hour Hubstaff and 4.5-hour Time Doctor case studies. Each report shows its setup, continuous run, and employer-side results. Public videos and written reports for most other major trackers are expected by mid-August 2026.
The Lumous monitoring library links current official documentation for Hubstaff, Time Doctor, Upwork, ActivTrak, Insightful, DeskTime, and Teramind. Each guide explains what the tracker records, how it detects basic mouse jigglers, and how Lumous stays undetectable across the complete desktop record.
Yes. Lumous supports Windows 10 and 11, macOS on Intel processors, and macOS on Apple Silicon. The download page provides the correct installer for each platform.
Lumous uses the discreet Reminders name and icon on the desktop and excludes its own window from application rotation. Monitoring reports see the Reminders identity rather than a visible Lumous interface, so Lumous remains undetectable while it works.
No. Lumous is very lightweight and has no noticeable effect on normal computer performance. It uses minimal resources because it performs brief, intermittent desktop actions rather than continuously recording or analyzing your screen.
Yes. One 7-day free trial is available to an eligible billing identity, and it includes every feature and safety control in Lumous One. Additional subscriptions are available immediately at $5 month-to-month or $48 per year without another trial.
