Limelight
Highlight your cursor in Keynote
When you point at something during a Keynote presentation, your audience can barely see the cursor. Limelight puts a spotlight on it so everyone follows where you are pointing.
Presenting in Keynote, you frequently gesture at a chart, a bullet, or an image with your pointer. But the macOS arrow is small, and in a packed room or a shared call your audience loses track of where you are pointing.
Limelight sits in your menu bar and draws a glowing circle around your cursor on top of Keynote in slideshow mode. Press ⌃⌥1 to turn on the cursor spotlight and it follows your pointer across every slide. It works in the room and on screen-shared calls, since the spotlight is part of your screen.
Great for keynote speakers, teachers, and pitch presenters using Keynote on a Mac. The cursor spotlight is free forever, so your pointer is always easy to follow at no cost.
