Hand Pointer 1.5.0
Tiny Pointer 1.4.0
- Undo and redo: Press U to take back the last line or number stamp, I to bring it back; hold to keep going
- Moving or removing a number stamp can be undone too
- The green "Allowed" in General is easier to read in light mode
- New installs start with the zoom loupe at 3×
- New app icon, and the name is now written as two words: Tiny Pointer
- New pointer: Christmas tree. The Cloud and Neon hands are gone
TinyPointer 1.3.1
- TinyPointer is now signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens without the security warning
- After this update, allow Accessibility once more in System Settings, because the app's signature changed
TinyPointer 1.3.0
- Arrows: Hold ⌃ while you draw and the line gets an open arrowhead pointing the way you drew, shown live
- Number stamps: Hold ⌥ and click to place numbered circles 1, 2, 3 … in your ink colour; drag one to move it, click it to remove it
- Smoothing: Lines are smoothed while you draw and still end right at the pointer, in four steps from off to medium; arrows always use the strongest
- New hold keys: ⇧ zoom, ⌃ arrows, ⌥ number stamps, ⌘ click your Mac for real
- Clicks and drags do nothing while you hold the zoom key
- The zoom loupe goes from 200 to 800 pt, and its Liquid Glass ring grows with it
- The skeleton hand no longer has a stray highlight
- New defaults for a fresh install: 600 pt loupe at 4×, sound on, light smoothing

- Right-clicking the toolbar ends the session too, if that option is on
