Hi PH! 👋
I make a lot of screen recordings and pair-programming sessions, and viewers kept telling
me they lost track of my cursor. The paid tools out there (like Mousepose) are great, but
I wanted something free and open source — so I built Cluxo.
It's a tiny macOS menu-bar app that highlights your cursor:
• Colored ring (4 shapes, 7 colors) + click / scroll / drag effects
• Spotlight that dims everything but the cursor
• Real-time magnifier (up to 4×)
• A radial menu (⌃⌥, or long-press) to tweak everything mid-presentation
• On-screen drawing — pen, arrow, highlighter, shapes, numbered badges
Built with SwiftUI + ScreenCaptureKit, installed via Homebrew (brew install --cask cluxo),
MIT licensed. Would love your feedback! 🙏
