IOGraph maps your mouse movements on Windows, Mac, and Linux
IOGraph is a Java application that traces your mouse movements while you work. The screenshot above shows about 1:20hrs of my work, during which I took a break (it shows up as the large blob near the middle).
The reason there's a large blank area on the right side is that I have a dual-monitor setup. I usually use the right-side (secondary) monitor for displaying information, while keeping my main work area on the primary monitor. If you work in one application for hours on end (such as a graphics editor or a work processor), IOGraph can also provide interesting usability data when overlayed on a screenshot of your window (Photoshop, in this case, by the application's developer).
While the application does perform its main function (and is the only one I know of, in this niche), not all options work. For example, there's an option called "use desktop for background," which just didn't work, no matter how I tried to activate it (while recording, before starting, etc). If you do get it to work, tell me how you did it in the comments (or, of course, if there's a better app for this).

The "Use desktop as background" option works for me, just checked the box and it works. :)

Having trouble with the desktop background as well. Using 0.9.1 version of IOGraph and Mac OS 10.6.3. It seems to just take a snapshot within the app and put the "art" on top of it. The "save image" function seems to work, although having to save it then set it as the background seems to defeat the purpose of the first option.
From what I gather, this option may only be an aesthetic option for the UI and serve no function at all, other than to adorn the background of the "graph" you're making (although others are saying it works)...strange. Anyone have any ideas? Would love to get this to work the way it's designed to.
