Stationary Mouse Detection in Auto Click Draco

Stationary detection is the smartest safety feature in Auto Click Draco. When enabled, the app continuously monitors your cursor position. Clicks only fire if the cursor has been still for a configurable duration. The instant you move the mouse, clicking pauses. The instant the cursor settles again for the configured duration, clicking resumes.

It turns Auto Click Draco from a blind input source into a context-aware one. The app effectively yields to you whenever you reach for the mouse, then quietly resumes when you let go.

Auto Click Draco samples the cursor position several times per second. As long as the position hasn't changed for the duration you've set (the stationary threshold), the next scheduled click fires normally. If the position changes — even by a single pixel — the timer resets and clicks pause until the cursor has been still again for the full threshold.

Pauses do not count toward Stop After totals or end the session. The session stays active in the background; only the clicks themselves are gated on the cursor being still.

Stationary detection is the safest choice for any AFK use. Walk away and Auto Click Draco keeps clicking. Come back and grab the mouse — clicking stops instantly without you having to press a button or trigger a hotkey. Set the cursor down and clicking resumes on its own.

It's also useful when you share a Mac with someone else, when you work in a creative tool that needs the occasional human nudge, or when you're running a long session and want the freedom to interrupt it without breaking the flow.

The only time you should leave it off is when the workflow specifically requires clicks while the mouse is moving — for example, certain testing scenarios where input timing matters more than cursor position.

1 second is the recommended default and the right choice for most users. It's short enough that clicks resume quickly when you let go of the mouse, and long enough to avoid false positives from a small bump.

Lower values (0.5 seconds) make Auto Click Draco more responsive but more likely to fire a stray click after a small accidental movement. Use a low value only if you trust your trackpad and you need clicking to resume quickly after deliberate adjustments.

Longer values (2 to 3 seconds) are forgiving. They reduce false positives if you tend to brush the trackpad or work on a surface where the mouse drifts. The trade-off is that clicks take longer to resume when you intentionally place the cursor.

Stationary detection composes naturally with everything else. With Stop After, only actual clicks count toward the limit — pauses don't add up. With a start delay, the delay runs first; stationary detection only kicks in after the first click would fire.

With hotkeys, you can trigger a session, place the cursor, and walk away knowing clicking will pause whenever someone touches the mouse and resume when they let go.
