CrossHair app icon

CrossHair

Press a shortcut, get a fullscreen crosshair that follows the mouse. Press another, get a circular pixel loupe with a built-in target reticle. Stays out of the way the rest of the time.

What it does

Fullscreen crosshair

⌘⌥X drops a thin pair of black lines crossing at the mouse. Follows the cursor across the screen. Esc dismisses. Lines stay 1px no matter how big your display is — surgical, not decorative.

Pixel loupe

⌘⌥L opens a circular zoomed view centered on the cursor. While it's up: 1/2 shrink and grow the glass, / zoom out and in. Settings persist between sessions.

Quiet by default

Lives in the menu bar — or hide the icon entirely and run on hotkey alone. The menu shows the current shortcuts in native macOS glyphs and tracks rebinds. Tiny binary, instant launch, no background services.
