mtm

Keep your screen awake by occasionally nudging the mouse pointer. The program waits a random amount of time between a lower and upper bound, then wiggles the cursor by a few pixels so the system stays active.

Usage

cargo run --release -- --lower 45s --upper 2m15s --distance 20 --verbose

Arguments

• --lower / -l: Shortest interval between wiggles. Accepts values such as 30s, 4m2s, or 1h5m. Default: 45s.
• --upper / -u: Longest interval between wiggles. Same format as --lower. Must be greater than or equal to --lower. Default: 90s.
• --distance / -d: Maximum pixel distance for each wiggle (the pointer moves there and back). Default: 15.
• --verbose / -v: Print wait intervals and mouse-movement details each cycle.

Press Ctrl+C to stop the program.

Notes

• Durations support hours (h), minutes (m), seconds (s), and milliseconds (ms). You can chain multiple units together, e.g. 1m30s.
• The program moves the pointer out and then back, so it returns to its original position after each wiggle.
