    • Mouse crosses between screens.
    • Mouse hits screen borders.
    • Mouse moves after a period of inactivity.
  • Customization:
    • Colors and opacity.
    • Predefined sample colors.
    • Size and thickness.
    • Animated or static.
    • Animation speed and repetition.
    • Momentary or permanent.

  • Notes:
    • We respect your privacy. Our apps do not collect or submit any data.

    • Simple Mouse Locator neither changes the shape of the mouse pointer nor hides it.
    • Simple Mouse Locator is designed for maximum simplicity. If you prefer more features please consider myPoint Light.
    • By default, Mouse Locator is tuned as a momentary animated ring and can be shown or hidden by some events. More settings are available in Locator Center.
    • The app is built as a Universal Application, so it will run natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon computers.
