A simple random movement screensaver.
Project description
snsr
A playful Python-based "screensaver" that randomly moves your mouse and simulates key presses to keep your screen active.
Features
- Moves the mouse to random screen positions.
- Simulates random key presses.
- Keeps your system from going idle.
- Lightweight and easy to use.
Usage
Using uv
If you're using uv, you can run the snsr command directly without needing to activate a virtual environment first. Just use uvx:
uvx snsr
Using pip
You can install snsr using pip:
pip install snsr
snsr
It will:
- Move your mouse to random points on the screen
- Press a random key (
a,s,d,f,j,k,l) - Repeat this process every few seconds
To Stop
Press Ctrl+C in the terminal to exit.
Notes
- Ensure your OS allows simulated input events from Python scripts.
- Useful for keeping your machine awake during long tasks (e.g., rendering, builds, meetings).
