Frequently Asked Questions

Is Pointerly free?

Yes, Pointerly is completely free to use 🎉.

I created it as a personal project to explore macOS development and play with the latest SwiftUI APIs. Releasing it for free allows me to share my work with the community and hopefully provide a useful tool for others. If you find Pointerly helpful and would like to support its development, you're welcome to make a donation.

Which macOS versions are supported?

Pointerly requires macOS 15 or later.

I built it specifically to experiment with the latest SwiftUI APIs introduced in macOS 15, so I set the deployment target accordingly from day one. That means it won't run on earlier versions of macOS — not because I don't want to support them, but because this project was more about learning and having fun with the newest tools than backwards compatibility.

Why another cursor higlighter app?

I wanted a simple, visual project to experiment with macOS development. This felt like a good playground. It's not meant to compete — just something I made for fun and learning.

Support the Developer

This app was published with the only goal to make it available to presenters and educators out there who might find it useful. If it made your work a bit easier — or you just enjoy the idea and you'd like to support more indie experiments like this — you can consider buying me a coffee. ☕️
