Stands aside for you
If you move the mouse yourself, the next scheduled move is skipped. It never yanks the pointer out from under you.
Native menu bar & system tray app
Bedaari quietly nudges the pointer to a random spot every few seconds, so presentations, downloads and long jobs are never cut short by a sleeping screen. One icon. No window. Works offline.

How it works
No settings maze. Set how often, say where, and start.
STEP 01
Anywhere from 10 seconds to an hour. The default is 11 seconds — short enough that nothing ever looks idle.
STEP 02
Leave it on the whole screen, or drag a box so the pointer only wanders where you want it to.
STEP 03
Use the menu, or flick the pointer into a screen corner twice. It stands aside whenever you grab the mouse.

This is a small simulation of the real thing. Drag on the screen to set a region, then press start. Move your own pointer over it and the demo stands aside — just like the app.

The real app moves your actual pointer, anywhere from every 10 seconds to every hour.
Features
If you move the mouse yourself, the next scheduled move is skipped. It never yanks the pointer out from under you.
Run for 30 minutes, 4 hours, or until you stop. The menu counts down, and it ends exactly on time.
Confine movement to part of the screen with one drag. Remembered between launches.
Flick into a corner twice to start or stop — no need to open the menu.
It makes no network connections. No account, analytics or update pings.
A native menu bar app under 50 MB, with no Dock icon and no window to manage.
Apple silicon and Intel on macOS 11 and later, and Windows 10 and 11. Linux (X11) is coming soon.
Hot corner
Whip the pointer into a corner twice within about a second to start movement; do it again to stop. Two flicks, not one touch, because people park the pointer in corners — and not a shake, because shaking is how people find a lost cursor.
Pick any corner, or turn it off, from the menu.

FAQ
No. Bedaari makes no network connections at all — your settings stay in one small file on your computer, and your license key is checked on your machine.
macOS only lets an app move the pointer if you allow it under Privacy & Security → Accessibility. The app uses that for one thing: moving the pointer. It checks where the pointer is so it can stand aside when you use the mouse, and it never reads your screen or your keystrokes.
Everything keeps working until day 14. After that, Start asks for a license key. Your settings are kept, so buying simply picks up where you left off.
Not yet. A Linux version for X11 desktops is coming soon. Wayland does not allow any app to move the pointer, so it can't work there.
Yes — one license covers up to 2 of your computers. Each computer gets its own key, tied to it, so a key shared with someone else will not unlock theirs. Replacing a computer? Release the old one on the activation page.
Please use the free 14-day trial first: every feature is unlocked, so you can be sure it works for you. Because license keys work offline and can't be taken back, purchases are final. If it doesn't work on your computer and we can't fix it, or you were charged by mistake, write to us and we'll refund you. See the Refund Policy for details.
Use “Resend my license” in the footer and enter the address you bought with. We'll email the license code again, and the activation page can show a computer's key again.
Moving the pointer counts as activity, so it prevents idle sleep and the screensaver in the usual case. A company policy that locks the screen on a fixed timer can still override it.
Download it, try it for two weeks, and see if you ever think about sleep settings again.
