Snapr – Custom cursors for better screen recordings
by•
Hey everyone 👋
One small detail I always found frustrating when recording demos was the cursor.
It’s either:
- too small to see
- jittery and distracting
- or just... boring
So I added a custom cursor feature to Snapr.

Now you can:
• Use different cursor styles and adjust size
• Smooth out cursor movement (no more jitter)
• Add motion blur trails
• Add click effects for better clarity
The goal wasn’t to make it flashy —
but to make recordings easier to follow.
Especially for tutorials, product demos, and presentations.
Would love to hear your thoughts:
What makes a “good” cursor in recordings for you?
Also… yes, you can turn your cursor into a cute cat 🐱
Not essential, but hard to resist.

The motion blur smoothing combo is actually super useful .Jittery cursors are surprisingly distracting in tutorials.
This feels like the kind of polish that separates good demo tools from great ones. It’s subtle but meaningful.
Nice balance here between functionality and fun. You didn’t overdo it, but still made it expressive.
