WaveLoop Cursor
Your Mac's pointer, as the WaveLoop gem.
A low-poly pyramid replaces the arrow everywhere. It leans into links and buttons, lies down in gold over text, splits at a window edge, and turns pink when you click.
What it is
- The artifact cursor from the WaveLoop apps, running over your whole Mac: every app, every space, full-screen too.
- The tip of the pyramid is the hotspot. Clicks land exactly where they always did.
- A menu-bar gem. Show the Mac pointer pauses it; Quit brings the arrow back.
- Reduce Motion is honoured: no spin, no sparks, poses snap.
The poses
- Idle — a quiet warm grey, turning slowly, leaving a trail of sparks as it moves.
- Over a link or a button — it swings into a pointer and comes up gold.
- Over text — it lies down flat, in gold: a precision tip for the caret.
- At a window edge — two pyramids facing outward along the edge.
- Click — whatever pose it is in bulges out, turns pink, and throws sparks.
- Resize arrows, crosshairs, spinners — the Mac's own pointer steps back in, because those mean something ours can't.
One permission
To know whether the thing under the pointer is a button, it asks macOS through Accessibility. The first launch asks once; grant it in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Accessibility. Without it the gem still runs — it just only knows about links.
Privacy
Local. No accounts, no telemetry. It reads where the pointer is and what kind of control is under it, and nothing leaves your Mac.
