Issue: Automatic Mouse Mover App not working with MacOS Sonoma #47
Comments
Could you try to launch it via the terminal, instead of launching the app the usual way (it should normally log events on the terminal), and then copy the last lines after it crashes? |
@sasanicolette sorry to hear that. Thanks @Resousse for the idea, that would be helpful. More info on "randomly stops working" would be great - does the application crash or the mouse doesn't move? |
Hi @prashantgupta24 @Resousse Thank you so much for responding! I opened the terminal and this is what it says after crashing just now. Please let me know if you need any more informtion! ` INFO[2023-09-13T11:52:20+02:00] activity detected in the last 60 seconds.

I can confirm that the app is crashing randomly after a while with the final version of MacOS 14 Sonoma. Previously it was working almost flawlessly with the previous MacOS 13.x |
It is still crashing for me too at random moments |
confirmation from here as well. randomly crashes a few times per day |
I can confirm, it's a new problem with Sonoma |
Can also confirm this is a problem with Sonoma. |
From my experience, I find that the app silently closes and disappears from the menu bar with no errors being displayed, which is followed by the laptop eventually going to sleep. I have to restart the app again from Finder before it eventually silently crashes again. I can also confirm that the application is regularly crashing after updating to Sonoma. Did not have any issues prior to the OS upgrade. |
I suggest a possible temporary workaround that prevents or reduces the application's crashes: disable the sleep or use applications that keep the Mac awake like Owly or Caffeine. Please confirm that it's working for you. |
Confirming as well, ever since I upgraded to Sonoma the app is crashing and no longer works. |
I have a simple python script that checks if amm is running every 30 seconds. If it is not open, it will launch the app & continue checking every 30 seconds. In case it will help anyone: |
I haven't yet upgraded to Sonoma, will work on a fix once I do that. Thanks everyone for reporting the issue |
@prashantgupta24 this a known issue with robotgo (solved in v1.0.0-RC2.1, go-vgo/robotgo#612), please consider merging my PR for activity-tracker : prashantgupta24/activity-tracker#28 |
can also confirm it is crashing on Sanoma |
Alright, try out the new release ! https://github.com/prashantgupta24/automatic-mouse-mover/releases/tag/v1.3.0 |
Thank you for the Update. Sadly, the new release won't start for me. It keeps requesting access to System Accessibility features, and nothing I tried will keep it happy. Had to downgrade to the previous version. |
@PragmaticBeaver , this is a known bug (#32 ) I didn't find the root cause, but what I found it so go in system accessibility, completely remove the "amm" line using the "-" button. |
Had it also repeatedly requesting access to System Accessibility. But at some point, it stopped doing that and the app is able to launch. However it still uses Rosetta 2 on my M1. |
this solution helped. |
Thank you very much for your fast reply. I can confirm as well, this was the solution, but I had to remove "amm" manually and restart the app multiple times (first time I had to confirm the access to accessibility features, then I had to restart "amm" again, just to confirm again. After that, the app ran without any problems). |
This exact method worked for me as well! It has been working for a couple of days now without any issue :) |
The app is still randomly crashing (not as often, but it has occurred a couple times today). |
I (sadly) have to confirm. I tested it on 2 different MacBook Pro's, M1 and M2 (both using the respective Pro Chip, 32GB RAM) using the most current version of MacOS. |
Same here - app is still randomly crashing on all my Macs. :( |
Could you try to launch it via the terminal/command line? to see the output |
Thx - launching it via Terminal may have fixed the issue for me. So far it is running without crashing. Let's see... |
Since I'm not the only one, I created a new issue regarding the clicks being registered as if they were held down. |
Thanks @iwishiknewcoding ! It's really hard to narrow down the sonoma bug with such inconsistent behavior across different users unfortunately |
If anyone is on Sonoma and trying to find a solution, here is a alternative i am using edit: grammer |
Is there any hope of this ever getting fixed? It crashes a couple times a day for me as well. |
@lgm-one the best bet for now is the script that checks if amm is running or not: #47 (comment) For a lot of people it is working with sonoma (including myself) so it's really hard to figure out the issue |
Thanks for this, good idea. I had to change a bit, added a PR CarpeBrawndo/amm_check#1 ... simply added the regex |
Still crashing with 1.3.0 on sonoma. |
@fantaaaaaa , can you give Mac model? processor type? version of amm ? |
Apple Macbook Air M1 Chip, Sonoma 14.2 (just did the MacOS Update last night from 14.0 to 14.2). |
Right now, the only solution that I can found is opening the VS code and running the code... I've thinking about compile the code from my computer and see if something changes... But, using this, my process is not dying... |
Can you try to stop the app, remove all amm permissions in the privacy/accessibility. Start again the app, and grant them required access. Is it better? If the same code runs better in VSCode, it may be linked to this. |
have tried that now and will report back, thanks. |
Seems to be running now (for about 3 hours without a hiccup). Removing and readding for permissions seems to be the fix. |
Good luck, hope so for you, for me that did not fix it... I continued to come back to a screensaver :( |
For me is working, I delete the app in permission area and add it again... now is working... I have a new update waiting (14.2.1) and want to check if I have again the problem, if yes, we can close the ticket with the conclusion: "permission level" |
Just to update here.
|
Unfortunately, AMM will still crash randomly. Sometimes only after a few minutes, sometimes it will run a few hours. |
Sure @fantaaaaaa , you can launch AMM via terminal, and it will display crash report (as one of the comment above) |
also have the issue on mac OS 13.6 |
I also have the same issue on Sonoma 14.1.1. Both crashing and dragging.
@CarpeBrawndo Thanks, this is useful, I started to use it, but won't the log file take up a lot of disk space if left unattended for a long time? |
Before upgrading to the new version: |
build your app from code, that provide the new permissions... normally when the app is killed or don't move anymore the mouse, is because of permissions, but you need to delete the app in the permissions, and add it back. With that, I use to solve the problem. Build it once and re-add permissions som time to time... |
I have asked because i have crashes ant not the problem with the permissions. |
See #47 (comment) ... Mine continued to crash for no apparent reason; I tried complete uninstalls/reinstalls and clearing the security/tccutil stuff to no avail. But using that amm_check app (and with my enhancement to specify amm.app specifically) that works well for me ...still need another window open to run that check, although I'm sure you could set it up to run in the background without issues. |
Sorry i want only start and use the app, i dont want install the script on different macs. my question was, how must i start the app in terminal, that i can see the crash log. i dont unterstand why the developer cannot help. different people has the same problem. |
@danielrichter78 have you tried this? Unfortunately the crashes are very random and hard to debug |
Problem Description:
The application, which is crucial for preventing system inactivity, has been acting up lately. It seems to randomly stop functioning, causing disruptions in our workflow and potentially leading to unwanted system lockouts.
Application version: V.1.2.0
Operating system: MAC OS 14.0 Beta (23A5328b)
Thanks for your attention to this matter!
