Will TrueCursor work on your Mac?

It works on most recent Macs with an ordinary mouse, trackpad, or trackball. Use this page to check your setup. Then try your own tasks for free.

The basic check

Which Macs and pointing devices work?

Part of your setupWhat worksWhat to know
Mac softwaremacOS 14 Sonoma or laterClick the Apple menu, then About This Mac, to see your version.
Mac hardwareApple silicon and IntelBoth newer and older kinds of Mac chips are included.
MouseUSB and Bluetooth miceExtra buttons made by the mouse company may work differently.
TrackpadMacBook and Magic TrackpadTry pointing, clicking, dragging, and your usual finger moves.
TrackballUSB and Bluetooth trackballsDo the automatic tuning with the trackball you use.
ScreensOne or more displaysTry moving across every screen in your own setup.

Things to try carefully

What else can change the pointer?

Try these during the free trial

  • Mouse helpers such as Logitech Options+, BetterTouchTool, SteerMouse, or LinearMouse.
  • Screen sharing, remote desktop, Parallels, or VMware.
  • Drawing programs and other apps that need exact freehand movement.

Expect TrueCursor to step aside

  • Games may take direct control of the pointer.
  • Password and Mac sign-in screens may use the normal pointer.
  • Drawing tablets and pens: hold fn or add the app to the exclusion list; automatic pass-through per device is not something we promise yet.

A five-minute check

How do you test your own setup?

  1. Open a page or app you know well.

  2. Try a small link, one click, a double-click, and a drag.

  3. Hold fn and check that your normal pointer returns.

  4. Repeat the test in any app that matters to you.

Try the devices and apps you use every day.

The full app is free for 30 days. No card is needed. A real person can help by email.
