MouseRetire
A 30-day program that retrains your muscle memory off the mouse — AI watches your workflows, identifies the five highest-mouse-intensity tasks, and walks you through keyboard-only alternatives with daily drills.
Knowledge workers with mild RSI or anyone wanting to reclaim speed by going keyboard-first
- Workflow audit that flags which apps and tasks you use the mouse for most, scored by daily frequency
- Daily 10-minute drills teaching one keyboard-shortcut family at a time (browser nav, OS hotkeys, app-specific)
- RSI risk score based on detected mouse-handling hours with smart break reminders and stretching prompts
Neverclick's 99-star GitHub launch signals a moment where keyboard-first lifestyles are crossing from power-user niche into mainstream curiosity, especially for RSI sufferers
KeyCombiner reports 8,500+ paid power users for keyboard-shortcut training, and Neverclick hit 99 GitHub stars (confirmed) — real but still power-user scale; the '60% of desk workers get RSI' figure floating around is unverified and likely inflated.Master Keyboard Shortcuts with KeyCombiner ↗GitHub - LazoVelko/neverclick: Never use a mouse again. ↗
Crowded: free open-source tools (Neverclick, Vimium), paid shortcut trainers (KeyCombiner, ShortcutMaster), and ergonomic suites (RSIGuard, Workrave) all overlap heavily with this idea.Neverclick - Never use a mouse again ↗Vimium - The Hacker's Browser ↗ShortcutMaster - Learn and Master Keyboard Shortcuts ↗
KeyCombiner proves paid keyboard-training subscriptions work at small but real scale; however Neverclick is free and sets a low price anchor, and RSIGuard monetizes B2B rather than B2C — consumer WTP remains unproven at scale.Master Keyboard Shortcuts with KeyCombiner ↗Product Info - RSIGuard ↗
Keyboard-first workflows (Vim, Emacs, tiling WMs) have been a stable power-user niche for decades and RSI is a persistent problem, but the 'crossing into mainstream' framing is overstated — 99 stars is still very small relative to productivity-app market.GitHub - LazoVelko/neverclick: Never use a mouse again. ↗
AI workflow-watching plus daily drills is buildable with existing screen-analysis / computer-vision APIs (Neverclick already proves the CV layer runs instantly on commodity hardware), but the personalized '30-day curriculum' generation adds meaningful engineering work.GitHub - LazoVelko/neverclick: Never use a mouse again. ↗
