🧠 Philosophy

We strongly believe that all developers should have full access to their resources (i.e. sudo access or permission to deactivate screens saver, ...). afk-bot 🤖 is a simple bot that moves the mouse cursor (every 1 second by default and it can be customized); so, your status never goes Idle and your screen never gets locked 😂 ...

🛠 Installation

To begin with, you need to have a Python version >=3.10 installed and to install the library from PyPI simply run 🏃‍♀️ :

$ pip install afk-bot

📌 Quick Start

afk-bot is a command-line based bot and you can simply run it in any terminal 🏃‍♀️ :

$ afk-bot                     <- runs the bot and the mouse cursor moves every 1 second by default

$ afk-bot -t <interval-range> <- you can customize the interval with -t or --time

$ afk-bot --help              <- shows the options 

To exit, simply press CTRL+C keys.

📣 Common Issues

• Mac users should note that the accessibility to Apple Events Server (AEServer) should be turned on. Simply follow the steps 🏃‍♀️ :

  System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Choose Privacy Tab > Select Accessibility from Left Pane > Enable AEServer
  

• Some Linux users might need to export the environment variable DISPLAY. Simply run 🏃‍♀️ :

  $ export DISPLAY=:0
