tom

A simple - no dependency Swift script that chases your mouse on MacOS (works for Monterey)

What it does?

Keep the display on and move your mouse up then down every 10 seconds.

Why

At the time of writing this, the great UI automation lib PyAutoGUI at version 0.9.53 not working on MacOS Monterey (it worked perfectly on Catalina).

Instead of download random software on internet, let just write simple 10 lines of Swift that is native on MacOS without install anything (I don't know but if it does, please file an issue).

Why tom

What move a mouse? A cat
