Description
Mousotron keeps track of the distance your mouse cursor moves and also the number of times you pressed the mouse buttons. On top of that it shows the number of keystrokes. If your boss says you don't work hard enough, this is the tool to prove him wrong. Mousotron is basically just fun, but it can also be a very handy tool in RSI prevention (Repetitive Strain Injury) or the rehabilitation of it.
Review
This just-for-fun application tracks mouse clicks, movements, and keystrokes. Mousotron's interface consists of a floating toolbar that displays running time, cursor distance, keystrokes, mouse clicks, and scrolls. The menu options lets users quickly turn the program on and off. It also includes several customization features such as setting the screen size, toolbar location, and background animation options. We are not sure what the benefit is, but this program gives users the ability to post their scores online. Users looking for an easy way to track time could set the timing options to show time since last start to get an accurate calculation of time spent per project or session. If you're curious about how often and which way your hands move while using the mouse or keyboard, or how much time has been spent, this freeware program may be of interest to you.
