here 3.02

Take your eyes off the screen and ‘here’ will show you exactly where your mouse pointer is. No shaking your mouse and losing your position.

Creating a critical spreadsheet, retouching a complex photo, or reading a scientific paper? After you answer your phone, rub your eyes, or step away, you’ll waste precious time looking for your mouse cursor. With a desktop that’s also saturated with files and folders, just turn away and you’ll go looking for that cursor again. Work on multiple monitors late into the night? Now you’ll know where, and on which monitor — even from across the room!

“here” is a brilliant new app that helps you pick up where you left off. Anytime your mouse is idle, a bright, shape highlights your cursor, marking its position. Inside your shape, a live counter displays how long your mouse, pen, or touchpad has been inactive. Easily change your shape’s color, size, and transparency to fit your task or just because you want to. As soon as you resume work, your shape will fade or pop-off. Pause or take a break, and your shape comes back on, waiting patiently for you to continue.

If every second count in what you do, always know where your cursor is. It’s ‘here’.
