I've recently joined a remote job that uses Hubstaff to track my productivity and it's been really annoying. I can usually finish most of my tasks in a couple hours but they require me to be online for the whole shift even if I have no work to do. I don't think it's fair to be forced to stay online even if all my work is done. If they assign me tasks and I complete them all, shouldn't I be paid the full amount? I’m not trying to slack I just need normal human breaks (bathroom, water, food, phone call) all that stuff without getting a pay reduction.

I decided to fool the tracker. I looked into Hubstaff and they can screenshot my computer and track my mouse/keyboard activity. I tried the following methods to trick it:
1) Put a YouTube video of a black screen (Trick screenshots)
2) Use a hardware mouse jiggler (Trick mouse activity)
3) Ran a keyboard macro (Trick keyboard activity)

None of these worked, and I even got a warning, but this didn't stop me. After some testing, I decided to develop an app called LazyWork. A tool to mimic human activity and lets you "pretend to work".

Some of the features include keyboard interactions, mouse, scrolling, browser interactions, and hidden mode. I wanted to share it with everyone and get some feedback. https://www.lazywork.xyz

I've tested it against the main time trackers like Hubstaff, Scrin.io, Time Doctor, Upwork, Insightful, Desktime and a few more. I ran it for a total of 8 hours straight for each of the trackers. I've pasted some screenshots of the results.
