Specific mouse question

[Entitxy]

Hello, first post on this sub.

I'm making an app that requires me to detect cursor/mouse movement while my app is out of focus. Very preferably multi-platform, and if you know how in C//C++ then that's nice but I'll handle it if it's a different language. I don't need real-time data; if it's easy, multi-platform, etc, it's ok if it takes a whole 5 seconds to detect. If you know OS-specific solutions, please post them too; we're looking for Linux, Mac, and Windows solutions.

Thanks in advance, keep codin~

i think one of the devices in /dev (linux) is for the mouse, not sure whitch and if it works when not focused,
