Common questions

Where is the app? It lives in the menu bar. Open its icon to turn the highlight on or off, choose a theme or drag style, or open Settings. You can also show it in the Dock from Settings › General.

How do I turn the highlight on or off? Press Control-Option-H anywhere, or use the switch in the menu bar. To use a different shortcut, record one in Settings › General.

My shortcut does not work. Another app or macOS may already use it. The recorder says so and keeps your previous shortcut working. Try a different combination with ⌘, ⌃ or ⌥.

Does it need Accessibility permission? No. It needs no Accessibility or Input Monitoring access, and it does not record your screen.

Drag effects are not showing. If Reduce Motion is on in your Mac's Accessibility settings, drag motion pauses and click effects become a plain fade. Turn off "Follow the system Reduce Motion setting" in Settings › Style to see them anyway.

How much does it cost? You buy it once on the Mac App Store. There is no subscription and no in-app purchase. The App Store shows the price in your currency.

I bought Highlight my cursor before. You do not need to buy again. Version 2.0 is a free update: open the Mac App Store, go to Updates, and update the app. If it asks you to buy, check that you are signed in with the Apple Account you first bought it with.

Which macOS do I need? Version 2.0 needs macOS 15 or later. Version 1.0 supports macOS 14.
