Quiet Pointer 1.0.0
Initial public release.
Quiet Pointer — a native macOS menu bar app that replaces the system cursor on demand with a large, highly visible hand pointer for screen shares, recordings, and live demos. Click, and the hand pokes — faster clicks, wilder pokes.
Highlights
- System-wide hand-pointer cursor replacement — click-through overlay per display, fingertip pinned to the mouse
- Click "poke" animation with four burst styles that grow with click cadence
- Four expressiveness modes — Shy finger → Gentle nudge → Bold poke → In your face
- Speed-reactive intensity — rapid clicks ramp the poke up to 3×
- Glove color picker + shadow-length slider
- Global hotkey (default ⌃⌥P), remappable — no Accessibility permission needed
- Multi-monitor support, no Dock icon, zero permissions, zero network calls
