macOS cursor idle keep-awake utilities

These are macOS menu bar utilities that prevent sleep by moving the cursor during inactivity, with some variations for scheduled runs, battery protection, and independent idle-display control. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from -- it predates the index or its members are undated, since there are no dated entries before the index start. Traction is led by Cursor-Drift and amm, each with 1 star, followed by StayAwake with 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
