Question: Auto Minimize (https://www.reddit.com/r/software/comments/1w1xxnr/auto_minimize/)
"I want to know if there is a software that automatically minimizes my applications after x amount of time and auto reopens them the moment I move my mouse/press a key on my keyboard."
Aside from the obvious answer of using a screen saver, you can do this with AlomWare Toolbox with the following action:
(Start)
HOW TO USE: Copy from Start to End, and then paste into an action.
REFERENCE : See an example of pasting at alomware.com/paste.png
0001 Wait: For user to ignore the PC "00:01:00"
0002 Computer: Show the desktop ""
0003 Wait: For user to operate the PC ""
0004 Computer: Restore minimized windows ""
0005 Action: Go to start ""
(End)
In this action, AlomWare Toolbox waits until the user hasn't used the PC for 1 minute (step 1 in "HH:MM:SS" format), and when they do it minimizes all windows to show the desktop (step 2). The action then waits for the user to operate the PC again (step 3) and when they, all minimized windows are restored (step 4). The action then goes back to step 1 again to repeat the process (step 5).
Unlike a screen saver, you can modify this action to do additional things, such as muting the system sound when all windows are minimized:
(Start)
HOW TO USE: Copy from Start to End, and then paste into an action.

0001 Wait: For user to ignore the PC "00:01:00"
0002 Computer: Show the desktop ""
0003 Computer: Volume mute "1"
0004 Wait: For user to operate the PC ""
0005 Computer: Restore minimized windows ""
0006 Computer: Volume mute "0"
0007 Action: Go to start ""
(End)
To stop the action, select it in the "Running actions" list and press the Delete key.
