Formerly known as "Cursor-track-find" — renamed to better reflect what it does.
Just a little fun side project I made to help find the mouse cursor quickly, especially when using multiple monitors.
It started as a simple experiment because I couldn’t find any good lightweight tools that worked well across multiple screens without hogging resources. Since it’s my own code, I know exactly what it does under the hood. After some rounds of improvements with AI, the code got quite a bit leaner and optimized.
- It’s super lightweight (memory usage dropped from about 1.2MB to under 1MB after optimizations!)
- It works smoothly across multiple monitors
- No flashy animations or big system resource drain—just subtle arrows on screen edges pointing to where your cursor is
- No external dependencies — pure native Windows API in C
- Runs quietly in the background with a simple tray icon
- Open source, so you can see all the code or tweak it yourself
Windows has a built-in option to locate your cursor by pressing CTRL, and Microsoft PowerToys offers fancy mouse utilities with more visual flair but also more resource use. I made this because I wanted something minimal, always-on, and reliable for multi-monitor setups without the bloat.
- Sometimes might hide behind fullscreen apps
- It’s unsigned and new, so Windows might warn you when installing. Just choose "Run anyway" if you trust it.
