Cursor spotlight is now free forever — Limelight 1.8

The glowing cursor spotlight (⌃⌥1) is now free forever — no account, no time limit.

Limelight 1.8 introduces a permanent free tier. The cursor spotlight — the glowing highlight that follows your mouse so an audience never loses track of your pointer — is now free forever, with no account and no expiry. Just download Limelight and press ⌃⌥1.

Everything else (keystroke display, draw on screen, region spotlight, on-screen text, and color & size customization) is Pro: a single payment, no subscription required.

The idea is simple: the spotlight should always be one hotkey away, whether you paid or not, so your screen shares and demos are easy to follow from day one.
