MorphTrail

Description

Customize the style of your mouse cursor from 500 different styles, then pick a cursor trail from 352 looks or make your own. Move the cursor and a black hole follows, bending the starlight behind it and swallowing the debris it pulls in. Rest it and a dragon coils around it like a pearl. Sweep it and a tarot deck rises card by card, or a tear in space opens and seals itself again. Click and a sun throws off a flare.

MorphTrail turns every movement into a trail: silky ribbons, blazing comets, glittering stardust, chunky 8-bit pixels, snow that settles on your windows, fireflies that follow you, vines that grow where you have been, a little cat that naps beside your pointer, and much more. Trails live in glass specimen jars inside the pixel-art MorphTrail Studio. Click a jar to wear it, open it in the Lab to tune its genes, or Splice two jars into offspring nobody has seen before.

500 cursors, each with a life of its own. Wear a koi whose veil fins stream behind you, a firefly whose swarm gathers into a heart when you stop, a snail that leaves a glistening trail, a typewriter that types as you go or a sparkler that sprays sparks. Every cursor is a whole set of Windows pointers (arrow, text beam, busy spinner, link hand, resize arrows and the rest), with its own busy animation and click flourish, and a living companion that follows the real pointer.

● Fifty collections: Cosmic, Nature, Creatures, Machines, Craft & material, Magic, Art styles, Playful, Clean & pro, Seasons events...

● Wear it everywhere: one click installs the set as your Windows pointer scheme, at every size Windows asks for. Turn it off and your old pointers come back.

● Calm when you need it: companions settle and fade out when you stop, and Reduce Flicker keeps every flash gentle.

● Made for work too: Fine Line, High Contrast and Draftsman stay out of your way.

● 84 trail species, four or five styles each, 352 looks that are all different. Every style changes how a trail moves, not just its color.

● 864 handmade jars, one for every look, plus a fresh discovery jar every day.

● Creatures and wonders: a phoenix that nests in embers, a sky whale gliding through clouds, a nine-tailed fox that curls up to sleep, a galaxy turning around your pointer, tornadoes, drone light shows, chrysalises that hatch butterflies, growing crystals, meshing clockwork, ferrofluid, slow-motion splashes, origami, magic circles, lens flares, toppling dominoes...

● The Lab: stack up to three layers and tune 11 genes. Layers react with each other: fire melts snow, rain puts out embers, a black hole swallows whatever drifts too close.

● 42 curated palettes with four color modes.

● Your desktop becomes part of the world: snow, sand and confetti land on your windows, sparks bounce off them, pets stand on the title bar.

● Splice & breed: mix two trails into four brand-new offspring, then breed your favorites again.

● Your desktop becomes part of the world: snow, sand and confetti land on your windows, sparks bounce off them, pets stand on the title bar.

● Pixel Dial: render any trail from silky HD to chunky retro pixels.

● Click effects and Shake to find for tutorials, presentations and streams.

● Made for presenting: Pen Mode draws only while you hold the button; Pointer Highlight rings your pointer.

● Share codes: every trail fits in a short text code. Codes contain only numbers, never programs.

● No hooks, no injection, no drivers. MorphTrail only reads where your pointer is (and the outlines of your windows, never what is in them) and draws in a click-through layer above your desktop.

● Hides itself in full-screen games and videos, and pauses when a program hides the pointer.

● Featherweight: it only redraws the small area around your trail, and draws nothing at all while the pointer is still.

● Offline and private: no accounts, no telemetry, no internet connection.

● Reduce Flicker mode softens flashing effects for photosensitive players.

● Made for Windows 10 & 11: per-monitor DPI, any resolution, any number of monitors, refresh rates up to 360 Hz, tray icon, hotkeys and launch at startup.

Photosensitivity warning: some effects flash or flicker. Use Settings → Reduce Flicker if you are sensitive to flashing lights.
