Limelight

A modern Mouseposé alternative

Mouseposé made cursor spotlighting popular for presentations. Limelight gives you the same glowing cursor focus, plus on-screen keystrokes and freehand drawing, in one native notarized app.

A cursor spotlight is the single most useful presentation cue — it tells your audience where to look. Limelight follows your pointer with a soft glow, toggled with ⌃⌥1.

It goes further with ⌃⌥2 to show the keys you press and ⌃⌥3 to draw on screen, so you can guide attention, teach shortcuts, and annotate — all live, over any app.

no subscription required: a one-time purchase free to start.
