Description
Use a computer-like cursor/pointer to conveniently control your big smartphone with one hand.
Easy to use: 1. Swipe from the left or right margin from the bottom half of the screen. 2. Reach the top half of the screen with the cursor by dragging the tracker, using one hand in the bottom half. 3. Tap the tracker to click with the cursor. The tracker will disappear on any click outside it or after a period of time.
Smart Cursor is free and without ads. Customization options and behavior settings for cursor, tracker and button highlights are freely accessible.
Snap-to-Click: When you move the cursor, any clickable button will be highlighted. Smart Cursor also recognizes which button you are aiming at. Once the button is highlighted, you can already perform a click on it by tapping the tracker. This greatly helps with clicking small buttons.
Quick Settings tile: As the most convenient way to enable/disable the cursor, you can add the Smart Cursor tile to your Quick Settings tray.
Context actions (Pro version): With Context actions, long pressing a button will trigger an action specific to its function. For a button in a horizontal row it's scrolling, for the status bar it's pulling down the notifications.
Features in the Pro version: (SPECIAL OFFER UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH: PRO FEATURES FREE) - Trigger more gestures with the cursor: Long click, drag & drop - Context actions: long pressing a button will trigger an action specific to its function (scroll / expand notifications) - Swipe action: trigger Back, Home, Recents button, expand Notifications or Quick Settings by swiping in and out from the margin - The option to blacklist/whitelist apps
NOTE: Highlighting clickable buttons, Snap-to-Click and Context actions work only in regular apps, not in games and not in web pages.

Really like the cursor, it has features that quick cursor has behind a pay wall all one would like to have Drag n drop features improved. Thanks for your time, dev.
★★★★★kev mwach· Mar 22, 2025
It's perfect for cracked untouchable parts of the screen of your phone. I like it.
★★★★☆It's Kifayat!· Sep 21, 2023
Hello, dear owner. I want some features. Please add a feature of making full transparency of tracker and change cursors with some cursors or with a photo, and compatible up to android 7. Thank you 👍

20230115: it replaced my last Cursor app coz it's so lightweight & Lowery, & the "app's left side slide menu" swipe shortcut. Only 1 complain for now: bottom l(/r) trigger hinders Home button long press; so at least either (1) add Trigger Length presets, covering: Large - 1/2 area; Medium - 1/3 area; & Small - 1/4 area; or (2) simpler yet better: set bottom trigger above, not atop, the navbar (which might even make Swipe gesture easier). It's a nice consistent lightweight app. Thanks!

They absolutely need to allow the trigger zones to be moved to the upper half of the screen. When I hold my phone with one hand, I am holding it so that my palm is on the bottom right side, my four fingers gripping the phone around the left middle. This means my thumb is naturally sitting above halfway up my phone. The best place for the trigger zones would be between 50% up my phone and 75% of the way up. This is impossible to do with this app. Please fix this.

Doesn't work well on z fold 4 Half the time I try to use this, the trigger zone will move to the middle of the screen instead of the edge, and there is no way I see to fix or adjust this. I'm guessing it has something to do with the changing screen and aspect ratio when you fold and unfold the screen. Too bad as I liked the app. Have to install something else for now.
