Mouseposé 2: Never Lose Your Mouse Again

Mousepose 2In an ever changing world of complex applications stuffed full of filters and templates, which take up gigabytes of space, sometimes applications that are simple and easy to use are much more effective. Mouseposé, from Bonix Software, is one of the most useful and simplistic Mac apps out there. If you haven’t heard of Mouseposé yet, it’s a classy way of finding your cursor on the screen. No seriously.

You might be thinking that you would never need such a function, but think again. You can use Mouseposé during a screen cast, while teaching an instructional Mac class, or when presenting an interactive slide show. In any circumstance, it’s always helpful to be able to press F2 and find your mouse, or be able to type and have what you typed show up in a large font at the bottom of your screen.

Currently, Mouseposé is at version 2, and has it’s own simple preference pane. The Mouseposé preferences let you customize the behavior of the highlighter, change the hotkeys around, tweak the time that the highlighter will be shown for, and change the look and feel of the highlighter. Another cool feature is that Mouseposé, if wanted, utilizes Mac OS X’s speech technology, as well as displays keystrokes in large font at the bottom of the display.

If you’re looking for a simple and elegant application that can improve your keynote presentations, help record screencasts, and of course, quickly find your mouse, then Mouseposé is a great application for you.

You can grab a free trial, or purchase Mouseposé for $14.95 from Boinx Software.

    I like the idea, but $15?

    FYI the free MouseLocator does something very similar in terms of highlighting the mouse cursor on the screen. In fact, I consider MouseLocator *more* useful, since it doesn’t require a key press. It supports a hot key, but can also be set to automatically activate after your mouse has been idle for a specified amount of time. For those of us with large, high resolution displays, it’s just what the doctor ordered. And it’s free!
