Keeps your computer awake by moving the mouse or pressing a key when you step away.
Project description
Keep Presence
This program moves the mouse or presses a key when it detects that you are away from your computer.
It does nothing if you are using your computer, making it useful for tricking your machine into thinking you are still using it.
