This is simple, there when you want it and not when you don't, and works like a charm.

Tested on MacBook, OS 10.6.8, external LCD.

Thank you for this excellent program, very long time to use it especially convenient package
before you are two 27 inch monitors! But with the update on the work computers with OS-1964
bit, the program can not install!
Please make 64-bit support in the Mouse Locator!

Thank you! I admit that even she will have to pay in the AppStore! :)

At first i thought i will not use it at all - that it would just be some fun for a while.

But i still use it - super handy.

Well done.

Nice little app. Unfortunately, the developer has not responded to multiple requests for assistance to resolve a problem with it. The app quit working. Uninstalling (with the app's uninstaller) and reinstalling has not resolved the matter.

Any recommendations for an app that is more reliable and is supported by the developer?

Pinpoint, especially the new versions on the Mac App Store is very flexible and fun. It is not free, but it certainly is cheap ($3) or so. I think it can even use the same graphics. Developer is really responsive too. Not perfect, but real nice.

I use dual 30-inch monitors, and this app is a godsend! I love that it is possible to customize the overlay image. I didn't like the the colour and the fuzzy edges of the stock green one, so I made myself a new one in five minutes. Follow the link in the DMG for downloadable icons as well as instructions on making your own.

@Thoth: Mouse Locator does what you want. Slide the Display Time slider all the way to the right to infinity. Now the overlay image will stay on the screen forever (beyond the maximum 9 seconds), and will disappear when you press a mouse key.

This product is quite excellent. I give it an A+. I use an obscene number of monitors and finding the cursor can be a pain. With the idleness feature, this is always easy. Here are two things I would change:

- Allow for longer times before automatic fade, say up to 30 seconds. 9 is not always quite long enough.
- Have a checkbox that says if you turn on mouse locator with the command-key combination, it will only fade out if you click something.

Other than these two minor feature requests, I love the product. And it's free! I would have paid a couple bucks for this.

I absolutely could not do without this utility. For those of us with large, high-resolution displays, it's very easy to lose track of where your cursor is on the screen. Being able to press a hot key and set an idle timer to see where the mouse is on the screen is a god-send! Thanks so much for offering this great utility to Mac users for free. We really do appreciate it!

It might be nice if this application did screen dimming the way Mousepose does. But for free, I have no complaints, and I would rather it not do that if it meant it was no longer a free utility!

Thanks for the tip on changing the graphic! This is a great little application. I record software demos as Quicktime movies and this will make it easier for the viewer to follow along. Thanks again.

Very Nice!

Before i had this i was always searching for my mouse when I had been away from my Mac for some time, now I instantly see it.

its very easy to use, you can add your own image to show around your mouse...
and the price is unbeatable.. (well they could pay us to use it ...)

it just works!

Very helpful little application. The trouble which I am having, is that it will not permit my iMac to sleep; no trouble with my MacBook Air & MacBook Pro - only the iMac (the only computer I really need it on, alas!).
