Type without accidental pointer interruptions.

PointerPause briefly suppresses trackpad and mouse input while you type, preventing stray clicks, cursor movement, and scrolling.

Stay in the flow. We’ll handle the pointer.

Start typing

PointerPause notices only that a key was pressed—not what you typed.

After your recovery delay, your trackpad and mouse respond normally.

Private by design.
Quiet by default.

PointerPause runs entirely on your Mac. It notices when typing begins, but never reads, stores, or sends what you type.

Keep your hands on the keyboard.

PointerPause gives your trackpad and mouse a moment to wait while you type.
