OpenMouse v0.1.0 — first public release (early / pre-release).

Control your Android device with a physical mouse or trackball, for people who
find the touchscreen hard to use (tremors, limited fine motor control, conditions
like cerebral palsy). A big cross-hair cursor follows your mouse, clicks when it
rests (dwell click) or on a button press, and an on-screen menu adds double-tap,
long-press, drag, swipe, scroll, and navigation. Live settings for dwell time,
movement tolerance, cursor size and color, and menu side.

Built as an Android accessibility service. No root, no data collection, no
network. A clean-room, MIT-licensed reimplementation of the closed-source Ease
Mouse.

Install

  • Requires Android 7.0+.
  • Download openmouse-v0.1.0.apk below and sideload it (you may need to allow
    installs from unknown sources).
  • Open OpenMouse, enable OpenMouse cursor in Accessibility settings, and plug
    in a mouse.

Notes

  • This is an early release. The Android 14+ input path (non-touchable overlay,
    finger touch passes through) is verified on an emulator; real-mouse behavior
    across physical devices still needs field testing.
  • Bug reports and feedback are very welcome, especially from the accessibility
    community. See the issue templates.
