The this imaginatively self-proclaimed useless application is meant for the naturally quirky to express their quirk within a technically extravagant fashion. Tick is a downloadable application that virtually twists and swirls the computer mouse movements on the screen. It is by no means efficient, and by all means fun and games.

People who enjoy the leisurely twirls of the mouse like to acquire the application for enjoyment purposes. However, infuriating rushed and non-tech savvy loved ones would be this app's main purpose in my household.
