The application works by simulating a keypress every minute to fool the system into thinking somebody is sitting in front of it. The application also has a number of command-line options that can be used to automatically terminate after a certain amount of time, which could be useful if you frequently watch movies on your PC but want the screensaver to come on after it's over.
