Overview
A magnetic cursor for the web: snaps your pointer to the nearest clickable element. Pointing assist built on HCI research.
MagPoint pulls your mouse pointer toward the nearest clickable element — links, buttons, checkboxes — on any page, so small and densely packed targets become effortless to hit. It is a pointing-assist and accessibility tool, not a cosmetic cursor skin. Hitting small UI is one of the oldest problems in human-computer interaction research, and MagPoint ships the best-known answer to it: the bubble cursor (Grossman & Balakrishnan, CHI 2005). Every frame it captures exactly one element — the one nearest to your pointer — so it never grabs two targets at once and stays stable on link-dense pages. The captured element wears a subtle liquid-glass highlight that stretches toward your pointer, so you always know where your click will land. The highlight is purely cosmetic: the selection logic never depends on the animation, so it cannot mis-click. — Works on any page — Press Alt+M to toggle on/off — Stands down automatically while you type in text fields or select text — No data collection of any kind: no analytics, no network requests, nothing leaves the tab MagPoint is free and open source (MIT).
