Make your cursor impossible to miss.
PointerPop is a presenter toolkit for macOS and Windows — cursor emphasis, live annotations, and screenshots drawn right over your screen, on every display.
v1.1.0 · free during early access · no account, no telemetry
Everything a presenter's cursor wishes it had
Runs quietly in your menu bar or tray. One hotkey and your screen becomes the stage.
Click bursts & emphasis
Particle bursts on every click, a highlight ring, spotlight, and click flash. Use the built-in styles or your own images, with savable color profiles.
Draw over anything
Pen, lines, arrows, shapes, text, and stamps — over any app, live. Undo, clear-all, and auto-fade so the ink cleans itself up while you keep talking.
Magnifier loupe
A circular magnifier around your cursor, native on both macOS and Windows. Perfect for tiny UI, dense spreadsheets, and code.
Screenshots built in
Full-display capture or drag-select snips, straight to your clipboard and/or a folder you choose — with confirmation toasts on every display.
Boards & break timer
Flip to a whiteboard or blackboard when you need a blank canvas, and run a break timer your audience can actually see.
Every display, really
True multi-monitor support on both OSes — including Windows extended desktops at mixed DPI. Plus a share-mode reminder so you never present without your overlay.
Built for the moments people are watching
If someone's looking at your screen, PointerPop makes sure they're looking at the right thing.
Hands on keys, eyes on the room
Everything important has a key, so you never fish for a toolbar mid-sentence. All hotkeys are customizable.
PointerPop 1.0 is free while it's in early access. A paid Pro tier is planned — and early-access users will be treated kindly when it arrives.
Get PointerPopQuestions, answered
Will my audience actually see it in Zoom / Teams / Meet / OBS?
Yes — with full-display sharing, the overlay shows up in shares and recordings on both macOS and Windows (we verify this live, in real meetings). Single-window shares exclude overlays by definition on every platform, which is why PointerPop reminds you to share the whole screen.
Why does macOS warn me on first launch?
Early-access builds aren't notarized by Apple yet. Right-click the app → Open the first time. Notarized builds are on the roadmap and this warning will disappear.
Why does it ask for Screen Recording permission?
The magnifier and the screenshot tools need it — that's the macOS permission that covers reading the screen. Nothing is uploaded, anywhere, ever.
Does PointerPop collect any data?
No. There's no account, no telemetry, and no network calls in normal use. Your settings live in a local file on your machine. See the privacy policy.
What about Windows SmartScreen?
Early-access Windows builds aren't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn — click More info → Run anyway. A Microsoft Store version (signed and auto-updating) is planned.
Multiple monitors?
Yes. Each display gets its own overlay on both OSes — including Windows extended desktops with mixed DPI scaling, which is where most tools fall over.
