Common questions
How do I highlight my mouse cursor on a Mac?
Toggle ShowPoint from the menu bar. A halo appears around your cursor on every display, instantly. No settings to touch, no accessibility options to enable.
Does ShowPoint show mouse clicks during screen recording?
Yes. Left and right clicks each get a distinct pulse animation, so viewers can see exactly when and where you click in tutorials, demos, and recorded meetings.
Does it work with Zoom, Loom, OBS, or QuickTime?
ShowPoint renders as a transparent overlay on top of your screen, so any recorder or meeting tool — Zoom, Teams, Meet, Loom, OBS, CleanShot, QuickTime — picks up the effects automatically.
Does ShowPoint need screen-recording permission?
No. ShowPoint draws on top of your screen but never reads or records it, so it needs no screen-recording permission.
Is it a subscription?
No. The basics are free forever, and the Lifetime Unlock is a one-time $4.99 purchase. No accounts, no renewals.
