macOS menu bar utility
MouseTrail leaves a soft, fading ribbon behind your pointer — on every display, over every app, in front of everything. It lives in the menu bar and stays out of your way.
Included, free
Comes free forever: Classic Rainbow — no account, no trial. Move your pointer to see it running on this page.
What it does
One trail across every monitor you have plugged in — including one you connect while it is already running.
The trail is drawn on a layer that cannot be clicked. Your clicks, drags and hovers behave exactly as before.
Stays visible over full-screen apps and across every Space, so presentations and screen shares keep the trail.
No Dock icon, no window to manage. Switch it on once and forget it is there.
No accessibility permission, no account, no sign-in. Install it and it simply works.
Optionally starts with your Mac, so the trail is there before you are.
