What does it do?
Pointer Cue runs from an icon beside the Mac clock and helps people watching a shared screen follow what you do. Holding Command draws a ring around the cursor, every click leaves a brief flash, and a focus mode softens everything except the window you are working in. With Pro you can hold a key and drag to outline one region of the screen, and choose extra or custom highlight colors.
Who is it for?
Anyone who presents software over Zoom, Teams or Google Meet, records tutorials, or runs sales calls and keeps hearing viewers ask where they should be looking.
When would you use it?
- Live product demo: Tap Command before you click a setting so attendees on a laggy call can spot the cursor, since the ring trails slightly to stay visible at low frame rates.
- Pointing at a panel: Hold the key and drag a frame around the part of the dashboard you are describing, then let it vanish as you carry on working.
- Recording a tutorial: Leave click flashes on while you capture a walkthrough so you do not have to add highlights afterward in a video editor.
- Training a colleague: Turn on window focus so the rest of a cluttered desktop fades and the new hire watches only the app you are teaching.
Why pay for it?
Full annotation apps make you switch into a drawing mode, which breaks the rhythm of a demo, while Pointer Cue stays in the background and reacts to a key. It needs no account, makes no network connection, and does not record keystrokes or what is on screen. The basic cues stay free after the trial, and Pro is a single small payment instead of a subscription.
What should you know?
- Downloading it from Apple's store costs nothing, and new users get every Pro feature for 60 days, with nothing charged when that preview ends.
- Pro normally costs $4.99 once, and code INDIEMARKDOWNSBLACKFRIDAY drops it to $3.99 through November 30, 2026 Pacific time, limited to 500 redemptions.
- Apple silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 13.5 or newer are supported. A Windows version exists, but its development is paused and it lacks the newer features.
- If you bought Pointer Cue before version 1.3.0, you already have Pro at no extra cost.
