Mouse Path: It Knows Everything About You. And Your Mouse.

There are a lot of Mac apps that can track almost every little piece of your life: your finances, your tasks, your music, your dog, your girlfriend. Ok, maybe not the last one, though I’m sure someone’s thinking about it. But anyway, from today on you’ll be able to track what your fingers have done on your MacBook’s trackpad.

Anatoly Zenkov (art director and designer from Moscow) has developed MousePath, a simple .jar application that records your mouse / trackpad movements and displays them on a blank sheet as black lines and dots. Lines are the actual movements, dots are the moments of inactivity.

Isn’t this genius? Below there’s my path of 50 minutes of work today.
