Who hunted Pokey?
Pokey was hunted by Mike Kosenkov. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

Hey Hunters! My name is Mike 👋 and today I'm launching Pokey, a tiny menu bar app that turns your cursor into a little hand that actually taps what you click.
How it started
The idea came from a super random moment. My friend and I were recording a quick screen video for a neighbor, explaining how to use their AC. Someone joked, "This needs one of those MrTinyHand pointers!" (if you know the viral IG videos, you know). Seeing how much joy apps like @SlapMac brought people recently proved we definitely need more weird, fun apps for Mac.
So I sat down, built a rough prototype of Pokey, and posted a quick, unedited demo online. To my complete surprise, the video blew up overnight with 35k+ views and brought in 30+ organic sales 🙃 Turns out, people just want to bring a little fun and personality back into their calls.
What Pokey actually does
It gives your cursor different "moods", from a polite pointing hand to a cat paw, or even the middle finger for those meetings that definitely should have been an email.
Best of all, it adapts to your energy! Gentle clicks get a soft, subtle nudge, but intense clicking scales up the impact for when you really need to make a point.
Discount
Use code "NOMOREBORING" to grab Pokey for $2.99 (first 99 hunters only).
Life is way too short for lifeless pointers. Poke it like you mean it 😀
One question before you go
Fun way to spice up routine team syncs, or a bit too informal for your work calls? Where’s the line for you?
