Limelight v1.7 — you can now spotlight a whole region, not just your cursor 🔦
Hey everyone 👋 thanks again for the launch week love — it genuinely meant a lot.
We hit #13 on Product Hunt on launch day, and that was all you 🙏
The #1 thing people asked for after launch: "can I highlight more than just the cursor?
" So that's the headliner of v1.7 👇
🔦 Region spotlight — dim everything except an area you pick. Perfect for zeroing in on one part of a slide, a UI, or a doc.
Plus a bunch more you asked for:
✏️ on-screen text · 🌊 click ripples · 🎨 color + size for cursor & drawing · ↩️ undo (⌃⌥Z) · ⌨️ on-screen shortcut HUD
We also simplified pricing — cursor spotlight is now free forever (no account, no timer), everything else is a one-time $15, no subscription.
What do you use Limelight for most? And what's the one feature that would make it a perfect fit for your workflow? 👀

does the spotlight support quick keyboard shortcuts for adjusting the highlighted area on the fly?

Right now size is a slider in Settings, and ⌃⌥4 (Region Spotlight) lets you drag to highlight a specific area. A live hotkey to resize the cursor spotlight on the fly isn't in yet — love the idea though, adding ⌃⌥+ / ⌃⌥− for that in the next build. Thanks! 🙏

@bartosz_strickland1 Ask and you shall receive 😄 Just shipped it in v1.8.4 — hit ⌃⌥+ / ⌃⌥− to grow/shrink the spotlight live, mid-presentation, no settings needed. (same keys resize your pen while drawing 🖊️) Oh, and custom colors too while I was in there 🎨
