About

TrailPoint brings the Windows pointer tweaks that macOS never had, in a settings window that looks just like the old Mouse Properties panel. Pointer trails leave a short or long tail of cursors behind as you move, holding Control draws rings around the pointer so you can spot where it went, and the pointer can jump to the default button of a dialog or hide itself while you type. Pointer speed and precision are adjustable for a mouse, and a menu bar item pauses or restarts the trail whenever you want quiet. It is a small Swift app that needs Input Monitoring permission in System Settings to watch the cursor.
