Cursor Pro

Cursor Pro makes finding your mouse pointer and inspecting pixels on your screen easier than ever. It draws a shape around your cursor, so you and your viewers can recognize it more easily. Moreover, it is equipped with a precise magnifier that you can activate with a single key press.

“A-plus app for students” — App Store Editorial Team

Make your screen presentations more meaningful. Tailored specifically with pros in mind, Cursor Pro enables you to dedicate your focus to the content of your presentation.

Features
• Looks great, intuitively.
• Select shape, size, and colors
• Choose border weight, style, and glow
• Animations. Visually appealing, but also carries semantic meaning — making it clear at first glance which interaction is currently taking place.
• Magnifier. Set up a magnifying key, choose a zoom factor, define magnifier quality and its size.
• Never gets out of sight on your Apple Studio Display. Cursor Pro can beg for attention, if you want it to.
• Never gets in the way. Optionally, the cursor highlight automatically hides if no movement is detected.
• Lightweight menu bar app
• Autostart. Launch the app automatically on login.
• Customizable keyboard shortcut
• Apple Shortcuts.app support
• Quick-toggle: Option-click on the app icon to enable/disable
• Deliver screen presentations that leave a lasting impression

Use cases
• If you want to make a professional impression. Use your Mac to demonstrate or teach apps, workflows, or anything else. People will see your pointer and the clicks you perform more easily.
• Work remotely and need to share your screen with a colleague without them asking what you’re doing all the time. Your pointer, and the actions your perform with it, will be clearly visible.
• Working with a large screen or even multiple displays. Losing your pointer is something that happens to many of us far too often. Cursor Pro will make sure you always know where your pointer is.
• When capturing or sharing your screen as part of a presentation.
• When creating video tutorials, during lectures, or participating in video calls/meetings.

Privacy
• The magnifier feature requires screen recording permissions to work (because that’s how it works: recording a certain area of your screen and zooming in).
• All of your mouse and screen data remain offline, on your computer, where they belong.

Compatibility
Works great with screen sharing apps like FaceTime, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Skype, etc. (You have to share your entire screen, not just a single application window!)
