MouseHider
MouseHider is a lightweight macOS utility that allows users to quickly hide and show the mouse cursor using a global hotkey or automatic idle detection. It is designed for users who want to minimize visual distractions while working, particularly during presentations, video playback, or full-screen activities. The app sits quietly in the system and responds to keyboard shortcuts to toggle cursor visibility without affecting normal mouse functionality.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionMouseHider appears to be part of the small ecosystem of cursor-hiding utilities for macOS. While the search results primarily reference Cursorcerer (a similar but distinct app from a different vendor that has confirmed native Apple Silicon support), we could not definitively confirm the current maintenance status or native build availability for MouseHider itself. Given that you have until September 2028 before Apple removes Rosetta 2 and Intel-only apps stop launching on macOS 28, contact the developer at soponext.com (or via the app's support channels) to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned. If MouseHider is no longer actively maintained, Cursorcerer is a viable open-source alternative that is actively updated and runs natively on Apple Silicon — it offers similar cursor-hiding functionality with a global hotkey and idle-cursor autohide feature.
