Cluxo is a free, open-source app that makes your cursor impossible to lose during screen recordings, presentations, and pair programming — now on both macOS and Windows. Colored cursor ring, spotlight, real-time magnifier, click effects, a radial quick-settings menu, and on-screen drawing — all lightweight, all free. A free alternative to Mousepose. Windows: github.com/kykim79/cluxo-windows

Hi PH! 👋 I make a lot of screen recordings and pair-programming sessions, and viewers kept telling me they lost track of my cursor. The paid tools out there (like Mousepose) are great, but I wanted something free and open source — so I built Cluxo. It's a tiny macOS menu-bar app that highlights your cursor: • Colored ring (4 shapes, 7 colors) + click / scroll / drag effects • Spotlight that dims everything but the cursor • Real-time magnifier (up to 4×) • A radial menu (⌃⌥, or long-press) to tweak everything mid-presentation • On-screen drawing — pen, arrow, highlighter, shapes, numbered badges Built with SwiftUI + ScreenCaptureKit, installed via Homebrew (brew install --cask cluxo), MIT licensed. Would love your feedback! 🙏

🪟 Update: Cluxo is no longer Mac-only! Cluxo for Windows is now available — a native rewrite (not Electron) bringing the cursor ring, spotlight, real-time magnifier, click/scroll effects, radial quick-menu, and screen drawing to Windows 10/11. Same idea, same price (free, open-source). → https://github.com/kykim79/cluxo-windows
