LazyWork takes control of your keyboard and mouse. It hides itself as another process so it is undetectable by time management software.
‍
Some of the main LazyWork features are:
- Random, human-like cursor movements
- Active, non-conflicting keyboard events
- Horizontal and vertical scrolling
- Focused app window switching (ALT+TAB)
- Active browser tab change (Chrome)
- Speed settings for each functionalityRuns in tray, with global shortcuts
- Ability to run LazyWork using hotkeys

We do not condone using our software for time stealing. Our software was created for use cases where employers are micromanaging employees to the point where slight dip in productivity is treated as bad performance. Our tool is meant to provide a way for productive employees to keep their scores in line while having a good way to take a breather from time tracking software.

Tracking software is becoming more advanced and can detect if you are randomly clicking on your screen or slightly moving your mouse. This can indicate to your employer that you are not working and faking activity. In order to fight that, LazyWork was created and it performs smart interactions on your behalf.

Lazy Work is a cross-platform desktop application which is supported on Windows, MacOS and Linux operating systems.

LazyWork will not be recognized or shown in the list of used applications. It does not need to be installed either so you can run it directly after you download it. You can manually rename the application on Windows to add more safety from it being detected from tracking software. A great example would be to rename the application to Notepad or Chrome.

Please read the instructions carefully in the downloads page. It shows how to enable accessibility for Mac and Windows.
If the hotkeys continue not to work for Mac, please delete LazyWork from the accessibility and keyboard security settings and re-add it. The security settings for Mac can be found by going to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy.
‍
If it continues not to work on Mac, open terminal and run the following command:
rm "/Users/<Username>/Library/Application Support/LazyWork/config.ini"
Replace <Username> with your Mac's username. Example:
rm "/Users/John/Library/Application Support/LazyWork/config.ini"
Rerun LazyWork and you will be prompted to reenable all of your permissions again.

Make sure that you download the correct version of LazyWork for your operating system. If that does not work, please report it using the contact form.

Windows Users:
Before you start Time Doctor, rename the LazyWork application to Notepad or Chrome, open it, set up your desired settings and set it to hidden mode (Check the hot keys). Once in Hidden mode, you can start Time Doctor and it will not pick up LazyWork. You can run LazyWork directly by using the hotkeys.

Mac Users:
Before you start Time Doctor, open LazyWork, set up your desired settings and set it to hidden mode (Check the hot keys). Once in Hidden mode, you can start Time Doctor and it will not pick up LazyWork. You can run LazyWork directly by using the hotkeys.

Note: Please be aware that time tracking software is updated frequently and employers have different monitoring methods (such as screenshots). Although we try to catch all edge cases and will continuously improve our software, LazyWork is not responsible for any issues customers run into with their respective employers and we cannot be held responsible for your actions. The software is provided as is and customers are responsible for doing their due diligence on whether LazyWork will support their particular use cases.

LazyWork has a stand-alone version which can be downloaded for Windows. The stand-alone version does not require an installer and can be run directly after downloading the app. Both the M1 and Intel Mac versions are stand alone by default. Thus you do not need to install it on Mac, and it can be run right after it's downloaded.

To provide extra protection, you can use your personal computer to download LazyWork onto a USB stick. Then, you can simply plug the USB stick into your desired computer and run LazyWork directly from there.

For Windows users, hidden mode will hide the application icon from the task bar.

For Mac users, a workaround we found to be effective is changing the icon of the application. We found for individual use cases, certain icons are still considered a "bad" application. We decided that it is much better to ask the user to change the icon themselves.

To replace the Mac icon, right click on the pplication, select "Get Info", then drag your new icon (should be an .icns file) onto the icon that should be on the top left of the window. For a visual guide, please see this guide.
‍
Once you've changed the icon on that info window, close it and please right click on the Application again,"Show package content" > "Contents" > "Resources" > "ui" and delete the "LazyWorkIcon.ico" and "LWBGWhite.png" files, which are used in the task bar app icon.

If you receive an error, please try to download and run our Windows script or Mac script. This script deletes the LazyWork configuration file and attempts to reset it. If that does not work, please contact support.

If you are on Windows, please ensure that you are running LazyWork on admin mode. This can be done by right clicking the app and clicking "Run as administrator".

If you cannot run as admin, you should close the time tracking software window (most of them should still be running in the background) as we've noticed that most time tracking software (like Hubstaff) will steal focus from other applications, which means LazyWork will not be able to function if it is not in admin mode.

Alternatively, you can also try stopping tabbing (so it does not tab into the time tracking software active window).
