150 themes — 4 free forever, 3 more free every month. Try any Pro theme free for 5 min. One purchase, no subscription.
MouseTrail draws a fading, colorful comet-tail behind your mouse pointer, so you never lose your cursor again — on a big display, a busy screen recording, or in the middle of a presentation. It lives quietly in your menu bar and works everywhere: every connected display, every Space, even over full-screen apps.
FEATURES
• 150 curated color themes — 4 are free forever (Classic Rainbow, Indigo Garden, Glacial Lake, Aurora), and 3 more rotate onto the free list every 28 days.
• Try before you buy — every Pro theme can be tried on your pointer free for 5 minutes, no purchase required.
• My Themes — browse your Favorites or All Themes in one searchable screen, and star any theme to keep it close.
• Edit Studio — adjust trail length and width freely on any theme; Pro adds fixed colors, multi-color gradients with a soft glow, and saving your own custom look.
• Every display — the trail follows your pointer across all connected screens and Spaces, including over full-screen apps.
• Starts at login — set it and forget it: MouseTrail can start automatically when you log in.
• Private by design — runs entirely on your Mac. No data collected, no tracking; the only network use besides the App Store is downloading a theme file when you open a theme link.
GREAT FOR
• Presentations, demos, and screen recordings where the audience needs to follow your pointer.
• Large or multi-monitor setups where the cursor is easy to lose.
• Anyone who just likes a beautiful trail following their mouse.
FREE VS PRO
Adjustable length and width, four themes, and three more every month are free, forever — no purchase, no account, no trial. MouseTrail Pro unlocks every one of the 150 themes at once, fixed and multi-color gradient colors, and saving your own custom presets, for one $9.99 purchase (price may vary by region; payment charged to your Apple Account). No subscription, no recurring charge. Not ready to buy? Every Pro theme is still free to try for 5 minutes, and the app keeps working with your free themes and saved presets either way.
