In short

TelePointer lets people move the mouse pointer and click using only the keyboard, aimed at those who find a mouse or trackpad hard to use because of motor control, tremors, pain, or repetitive strain. Its speed curve starts slow for small targets and can be tuned on a live graph. The app collects no data and makes no network connections.

About

TelePointer lets you control the mouse pointer entirely from the keyboard. It is built for people who find a mouse or trackpad difficult or impossible to use — because of limited fine motor control, tremors, pain, or repetitive strain — but who can press keys.

MOVE THE POINTER Hold ⌃⌥ with I, J, K, or L to move up, left, down, or right. The pointer starts slowly so small targets are easy to reach, then speeds up the longer you hold.

PRECISE, STEADY MOVEMENT Add ⌘ (⌃⌥⌘ + I/J/K/L) to move at a constant, gentle speed when you need to line up something small.

CLICK AND DRAG Press ⌃⌥X to left-click and ⌃⌥V to right-click at the pointer's location. Press again quickly to double-click. Hold the click shortcut while moving to drag.

REACH EVERY DISPLAY Press ⌃⌥C to send the pointer to the center of the next display, so crossing a multi-monitor setup takes one keystroke per screen.

ADJUST IT TO YOUR HANDS • Change every shortcut to keys that are comfortable for you. • Set the starting speed, top speed, and how quickly it accelerates, and see the result on a live graph. • Turn off individual shortcuts in apps where they would conflict. • Export your settings and import them on another Mac.

PERMISSIONS & PRIVACY TelePointer uses Accessibility permission only to click at the pointer's location when you press a click shortcut. It does not read or control other apps' content. It collects no data and makes no network connections.
