TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR WORKSTATION!!! Mouse Mover is an app whose sole function is to "fake" mouse input to your computer. Useful for avoiding screen-savers/lock screens that are triggered by inactivity. This means you can stop entering your password 57 times per day! DO NOT CONNECT your iPhone to your workstation. Just place your mouse over the app screen on your phone. The proprietary/patented imaging technology fools the mouse into thinking it is moving - deactivating the screen saver/lock screen. (You may need to experiment with the angle of the mouse.) If you're giving a presentation, or just watching a movie, and you don't want your lock screen constantly popping up, the Mouse Mover is the perfect app. Uses: * Great for remote workers and telecommuters. * Keep your chat software green during long lunches. * Stop a screensaver/lock screen when you step away from your desk. * Stop a screensaver/lock screen when attending a meeting. * Great for presentations. * Great for on-line training. * Stop a screensaver/lock screen when watching a video. * Keep your VPN up when inactive at your workstation. * Keep workstation from going to sleep on long operations. * Stop a screensaver/lock screen when your attention is on another console. * Stop a screensaver/lock screen from activating during an installation or long operations.

Show Caller turns your run-of-show into a live call. Build the cue sheet once, share a code with your crew, and every person sees the cue you're calling the moment you call it. Built for the people who actually run live events — stage managers, producers, and technical directors working rodeos, concerts, theater, corporate general sessions, and anything else that has to start on time. HOW IT WORKS Build the show. Enter cues with numbers, titles, durations and show times. Times recalculate down the sheet as you adjust, so a schedule change doesn't mean retyping forty rows. Already keep it in a spreadsheet? Import it as a CSV. Add your departments. Audio, lighting, video, talent — whatever the show needs, each with its own color and its own note on each cue. Bring the crew in. Share a room code, a QR code, or an invite link. Crew join on their own phones and see only what concerns them. Call the show. One tap advances the cue and every screen updates instantly. Your crew see the current cue, their own note for it, and a countdown to the next cue that involves them. FEATURES - Real-time cue calling to your whole crew at once - Per-department notes on every cue - Crew join by room code, QR code, or link - Standby, live, and hold states - On-time, ahead, or behind tracking against your scheduled times - File attachments on any cue — scripts, plots, stage diagrams — saved or shared through iOS - Calling log exported as a PDF when the show is over - Email the full run of show to your team - Clone a past show to reuse a format PRICING Every new account includes one free Single Show pass. - Single Show — $9.99, covers one show for 24 hours - Multi-Day Pass — $19.99, covers every show you run for 7 days - Monthly — $29.99 per month, unlimited shows - Annual — $239.99 per year, unlimited shows Building and editing a run-of-show is always free.
