Idle Assistant is a lightweight application designed to automate simple user interactions on your computer, including random mouse movements, keystrokes, and automatic window switching. It's particularly useful for preventing inactivity timeouts during long periods of non-use.
- Random Mouse Movement: Moves the mouse cursor randomly across the screen to simulate user activity.
- Auto Alt-Tab: Automatically switches between open windows at random intervals.
- Random Keystrokes: Sends random keystrokes to keep applications active.
- System Tray Icon: Runs silently in the system tray with an easy way to exit the application.
- Python 3.x installed on your machine.
