Installation & Setup Guide
Permissions & First Run
Android requires specific permissions to discover and connect to Bluetooth devices without exposing your location data.
- Bluetooth Connect/Scan: Required to find your PC or Mac. On Android 12+, this does not grant location access.
- Notifications: Required for the foreground service. This ensures the connection stays alive and the Jiggler runs when you switch apps or lock the screen.
Pairing with your Computer
Moux emulates a standard Bluetooth Human Interface Device (HID). No drivers are needed on the host computer.
Method A: Initiate from App (Recommended)
- Open Moux and navigate to the Dashboard.
- Tap the + (Plus) button or "Add New Device".
- Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your PC/Mac and it is "Discoverable".
- Select your computer from the scanned list.
- A pairing code may appear on both screens. Confirm they match.
Method B: Initiate from PC
If Method A fails, try making the phone discoverable (via system settings) and searching for it from your computer.
Using the Jiggler
The Mouse Jiggler keeps your computer awake by simulating microscopic mouse movements.
App Only Mode
Runs only while Moux is open on your screen. Stops immediately when you switch apps. Battery efficient.
Background Mode
Runs via a persistent notification service. Keeps working even if you lock your phone.
