Laser pointer
Precise pointing, always readable

HighLightIt! Laser
Direct attention. Instantly.
A native macOS laser pointer and spotlight for live delivery and screen recordings.
Two tools in one. Zero friction.
HighLightIt! Laser is designed to assist during live delivery:
lectures, screen shares, demos, coaching sessions, and workshops.
Flashlight
Dim everything except what matters
Hold ⇧⌘ and drag to highlight an area of the screen. Releases instantly — no capture, no screenshots, no clutter.

Spotlight Highlight Mode
How it works
1) Open
Lives in the menu bar
No window management. No setup screens. Controls are one click away.
2) Point
Toggle the laser
Hold ⇧⌘ to toggle the laser pointer when you need it.
3) Focus
Hold ⇧⌘ + drag
Highlight an area of the screen. The rest dims. Release the keys to dismiss.
Design intent
This app is deliberately minimal. It aims to feel like a native macOS utility...
Who it’s for
If you teach, present, explain, or screen share — this is for you.
🎓 Teachers & Lecturers
Keep attention
Guide students to the exact line, diagram, or detail — without breaking your speaking rhythm.
🧑🏫 Trainers & Presenters
Deliver clearer live demos
Spotlight the relevant UI region while you talk through steps — especially useful on shared screens.
🏉 Coaches & Analysts
Make a point instantly
Use the laser to direct attention during review sessions, meetings, and tactical walkthroughs.
Trust & Privacy
- No sign-in. No accounts. No onboarding funnels.
- No data collection. No analytics SDKs. No tracking.
- No recording. The spotlight is transient and does not capture your screen.
- Accessibility permission may be required to render the on-screen pointer/spotlight reliably.
