PointerPause · Motor accessibility
A steadier way
to type on Mac.
PointerPause briefly suppresses accidental clicks, dragging and scrolling while you type, then returns your pointer automatically.
The story
Built from a real access barrier.
PointerPause was created after unintended contact with a MacBook trackpad repeatedly interrupted typing. It offers a small, private way to make the Mac you already use feel steadier.
