Desktopfree

highlight-pointer is a lightweight X11 utility that highlights the mouse cursor with a colored dot, making it easier for viewers to follow during a presentation or screen share. It works alongside any screen-capture or video-conferencing software, with configurable colors, auto-hide, and global hotkeys. It's built for Linux/X11 users, since Wayland isn't supported.
