🚀 This is an automated fork
Based on the original cursor-limit-reset, this version adds:

• Background daemon with system tray icon (green = active, red = paused)
• Automatic periodic reset (every 30 minutes, configurable)
• One‑click toggle – enable/disable auto‑reset from the tray
• Startup integration – runs silently on login (Windows/macOS/Linux)
• --revert flag – restore all settings from latest backup except the telemetry IDs (keeps fresh IDs)

No terminal needed – just run once and it lives in your tray.
👉 See the “Automated Usage” section below for the new commands.

🤖 Automated Usage (Fork Features)

1. Run the daemon (adds itself to startup):

   python cursor_reset.py
   

   A tray icon appears – green = auto‑reset on, red = off.

2. Right‑click the tray icon to:

   • Toggle auto‑reset on/off
   • Reset IDs immediately
   • Exit the daemon

3. Revert settings except IDs (close Cursor first):

   python cursor_reset.py --revert
   

   Restores every setting from the latest backup, but keeps your current fresh IDs.

All backups are timestamped and stored next to storage.json.
