Mouse and Caret Buddy

Mouse&Caret Buddy is a simple tool to help people find their mouse cursor and text caret.

It's perfect for low-vision users or anyone who has trouble finding the mouse cursor or text caret.

Find Your Bearings and Enjoy Your Computer

If you have trouble finding your mouse because of a low-vision issue or attention issue, you'll love Mouse&Caret Buddy!

How Does it Work?

There are other programs on the market that enlarge the system cursor, but that only helps part of the time. Many programs change their cursor to indicate something on your machine. These cursors can't be changed! 

Our solution is to simply position a big picture next to the mouse cursor (we use our mascot Mouse Buddy). Moreover, if you're having trouble finding your mouse cursor you also might need to find your text caret. To help you find that, another picture is positioned next to your text caret (we use Caret Buddy for that).
