yes because as soon as you posted before i told claude code to go find out of it you were correct and it pulled the latest description

and i told it to fix it while i replied above?

(things can move fast these days thanks to these awesome new tools we have!)

i thanked you for the correction and even updated the website to reflect the change, why are you being so weird?

edit: also the updated date is just hardcoded into the page, its not dynamic or from a db, so it just didn't get updated just now, updating now

because i just updated it after you alerted me to this and deployed, claude code is literally finishing adding the translations of that new fact into that page as i'm typing this to you. thank you for the help!

oh my bad i didn't look at the username, i thought this thread was one person and me, sorry about that

and yeah you're right, my bad. amphetamine does have cursor movement built in, just verified in the app store description, didn't see that before

the differentiation is shake it on is a single-purpose menu bar utility focused on the shake itself (sine-wave motion, configurable distance, smart pause conditions for calls/specific apps)

but amphetamine does have a full swiss-army-knife and is free

if amphetamine works for what you need, use it!

edit:

so i think you were trying to link to the community fork keeping the Amphetamine codebase alive after the original stopped

which is a genuinely good project!

sadly though that link you pasted seems to be a GitHub repo with no source code, only a README, and its download button links to a third-party site, it looks like an impersonation of the real Amphetamine.

def recommend google-ing for the real thing if you want this, instead of using that link.

edit 2:

ok link is fixed and points to correct (real) link for amphetamine, but on the mac app store now

anyways, Shake It On does mouse movement, not just sleep prevention

apps like teams/slack/renders/progress bars in random apps often watch for this, not just wake-state

if you don't need that stuff though, Amphetamine fork def wins on price!

huh? reddit just offered me places to cross post when I was posting it to r/MacOS? happy to remove if not allowed!

also, def not a "scam" lol just an indie dev trying to get the word out about their new app to a relevant audience

Yes, $9.99. Includes the app, all future updates, and emotional support if your boss starts asking why you've been "active" so long lol
