Deskathon is a private odometer for your Mac. It measures how far your pointer travels, right in your menu bar, and compares the distance with places you know. Today might be 1.3 times the Brooklyn Bridge. Your total since day one might be further than London to Paris. The last stop on the list is the Moon. There is no account, and your statistics stay on your Mac unless you choose to join the optional leaderboard.

  • See how far your mouse really goes

  • Find out where you actually click

  • Take on a challenge every month

  • Keep your numbers on the desktop

Deskathon features


Distance that adds up honestly

Deskathon scales each display to its real size, so a 4K monitor and a laptop count fairly. Open the menu bar item for today's distance, your next landmark, clicks, scroll and the last seven days.


Challenges and badges

Every month brings a goal and a higher stretch goal, each named after a place or a quantity, with the days left and where you stand against an even split of the month. Collect badges for distance, clicks, scroll and days at the pointer. They stay grey until you earn them, then turn vivid, and each earns a finish from Plain to Prism. Every month you reach the goal adds a stamp to your card, and a year has twelve. Challenges are worked out on your Mac from numbers it already keeps. Notifications are off until you switch them on.


An optional leaderboard

Compare your month with other players for pointer, scroll and clicks. It is off until you click Join. There is no account and no e-mail: you play under a player name made for you, which you can change. Joining sends only that name and your monthly totals for pointer, scroll and clicks, and the join sheet lists exactly what is sent. Leave whenever you like in Settings, and your player and scores are erased from our server.


Heat maps, without the snooping

See where your pointer moves and where you click, for each display and any past day. They're drawn on a plain outline of the screen. Deskathon never captures what's on it.


Your whole history

Browse by day, week, month or year, and check your records: longest day, most clicks, most scroll and best week. Export it all to CSV when you want the raw numbers.


Widgets and share cards

Put Small, Medium or Large widgets on your desktop, including one for the monthly challenge. Save a card of your day, your week, a month's stamp or a badge as an image.
