touchpoint
A macOS menu bar app that replaces the system cursor with a touch-style overlay, like Figma's prototype-mode cursor but system-wide.
The TouchPoint menu and the cursor overlay it produces, set over an iOS Simulator window in the background. The dot reads like a finger tap when you're recording a demo.
TouchPoint is a small macOS menu bar app that replaces the system cursor with a touch-style circle overlay, like Figma's prototype-mode cursor but system-wide. It's built for the moments when you're recording an iOS Simulator demo, presenting a prototype, or capturing a screen recording where the normal arrow cursor doesn't read like a finger tap. Toggle it on with Cmd+Shift+T, resize with Cmd+Shift+= and Cmd+Shift+-. Every iOS demo video on this site was recorded with it.
There's no system-wide touch cursor in macOS. ScreenFlow has one but only inside its recordings. Figma's prototype mode has one but only inside Figma. TouchPoint sits one layer below all of them: a menu bar app that runs across every recording tool and every app you might be presenting from.
Hiding the system arrow globally requires a CGS private API, the same trick Cursorcerer used to make the cursor disappear regardless of which app is in focus. The overlay itself is an NSPanel at screensaver level tracking the mouse on a 30Hz timer, with a click animation that dims and flattens the dot on press so a recorded interaction reads as a tap rather than a hover.
