How to Hide Cursor on Mac

Let’s start!!
In order to hide the cursor on macOS, you have to install a free little utility called Cursorcerer. It installs as a preference in the System Preferences app. Download and run it.
You can hide the cursor with the Option+Control+K keyboard shortcut. The shortcut works globally which means you can execute it in any app and it shouldn’t interfere with anything. If you do find it’s conflicting you can change the shortcut.
Click the Set button in the app’s preference pane and record a new shortcut.
Execute the shortcut once to hide the cursor, and a second time to unhide it. If you shake your mouse or move it a bit, the cursor also reappears. This may or may not be a useful feature. You can enable or disable it from the app’s preference.

- Before hiding your mouse pointer, just move it away from any critical buttons to prevent inadvertently tapping on them.
- You can also use gestures on your trackpad without even revealing your mouse pointer.
- Just like that, you can hide your mouse pointer with a third party mouse utility for Mac OS X. Cursorcerer also has an autohide feature that detects and hides idle mouse pointers as well.
