An independent Linux alternative inspired by PowerToys Mouse Utilities for desktop cursor tracking, live pixel magnification, hardware mouse polling-rate and click speed benchmarking, and visual spotlight or crosshair overlays. Key Features: * Global Cursor Tracker: Real-time X/Y coordinates via QCursor.pos(), live pointer velocity (px/s), cumulative travel distance in pixels and physical centimeters using real monitor DPI, and multi-screen boundary detection. * Zoomed Pixel Crosshair Magnifier: Live 8x to 24x pixel-grid loupe via QScreen.grabWindow inspecting exact HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, and WCAG relative luminance under the cursor with pinned swatch history. * Mouse Polling-Rate (Hz) & Click Benchmark: High-resolution monotonic nanosecond event analyzer measuring real pointer report rate (Hz), frame interval jitter (ms), click speed (CPS), and switch hold/bounce intervals. * Spotlight & Crosshair Overlay Helper: Toggleable click-through transparent desktop overlay window providing precision alignment hairlines and cursor locator halo rings, plus Linux XCursor theme diagnostics and CSV/JSON/TXT report export.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go. For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*. Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install TC Cursor Utilities To install TC Cursor Utilities, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install tc-cursor-tools ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
