CursorHop availability

Choose how you install.

CursorHop is one product with two installation channels. The App Store release is still in review, and the replacement Direct package is not yet public, so neither button is presented as a live download today.

Direct from NgSense

The current public DMG belongs to a historical Direct identity. It is not presented here as the new com.ngsense.cursorhop general-availability build.

  • macOS 14+
  • Apple Silicon + Intel
  • One CursorHop.app per channel
  • Free up to 2 displays
Release gate

No unverified package is presented as current

CursorHop has one product identity inside each installation channel. Free and Pro are not separate installers, and choosing App Store or Direct does not create four editions.

The public availability controls on this page are conservative by design. The App Store build remains in review, while the reachable Direct 1.0.1 package belongs to the historical Direct identity. Neither is represented as the new public release.

Free / Pro

Pick a plan by display count, not features

App Finder and channel-specific window controls are included in Free. Pro changes only the maximum managed display count.

Free
Up to 2 displays

All functionality available in the selected installation channel, forever free and unlimited in use.

Pro 1 month free, then $4.99/year
Up to 8 displays

One month free, then $4.99/year. The feature set remains the same as Free.

Every feature available in your chosen install channel is included in Free. Pro changes only the managed display limit.

Before install

Check these details before installing

CursorHop supports both Mac architectures, but the window setup depends on the chosen distribution channel.

macOS 14 or later

The planned public builds support Apple Silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 14+.

Two displays are included in Free

If macOS reports no more than two displays for CursorHop to manage, Free already includes the complete channel feature set.

Direct uses Accessibility for window control

Pointer jumps do not need Accessibility. Direct asks for it only when active-window move or focus commands require it.

App Store uses Native Window Shortcuts

The sandboxed App Store build does not request Accessibility. Follow its guide to configure macOS App Shortcuts for window commands.

Installation flow

What to do when a channel opens

The installation path is deliberately short and keeps plan choice separate from package choice.

  1. 01

    Confirm macOS and architecture

    Use macOS 14 or later on an Apple Silicon or Intel Mac.

  2. 02

    Choose how you install

    Select App Store for sandboxed distribution and StoreKit billing, or Direct for Developer ID distribution and on-demand Accessibility window control.

  3. 03

    Install one CursorHop app

    Free and Pro are plans inside the selected channel. Do not install separate Free and Pro packages.

  4. 04

    Start free

    Use the complete feature set with up to two managed displays. Upgrade only if the Mac needs to manage more displays.

Availability detail

Why the download buttons are not active yet

The page reflects verified release state rather than linking to an unconfirmed store page or an obsolete package identity.

  1. 01

    App Store is still in review

    Apple ID 6795824116 exists in App Store Connect, but a public product page has not been confirmed. The CTA stays disabled until that changes.

  2. 02

    The public Direct DMG is historical

    The currently reachable 1.0.1 DMG uses the old com.ngsense.cursorhop.direct identity and CursorHop Direct.app name. It is not the replacement GA package.

  3. 03

    Availability will be switched in content

    Once a current signed destination is verified, the matching channel entry can receive its URL without changing the Free/Pro or channel model.

Requirements

System requirements

  • macOS 14.0 or later
  • Apple Silicon or Intel Mac

FAQ

Plans, packages, and permissions

Use these answers to choose a channel without turning Free and Pro into separate downloads.

What is the difference between CursorHop Free and Pro?

Free includes every feature available in the selected installation channel and manages up to two displays. Pro has the same features and manages up to eight displays. Pro starts with a one-month free trial and then costs $4.99 per year.

Are App Store and Direct separate CursorHop products?

No. They are two ways to install one product. Each channel has one CursorHop.app, and Free or Pro is the plan inside that app. The App Store channel is sandboxed and uses Native Window Shortcuts; Direct can request Accessibility for active-window controls.

Does CursorHop require Accessibility permission?

Pointer jumps do not require Accessibility. The App Store channel does not request it. The Direct channel asks only when active-window movement or focus features need it, and CursorHop does not upload window content.

Can I change the CursorHop keyboard shortcuts?

Yes. Modifier layers are configurable in Settings. Current defaults include Control + Command for cursor actions and Control + Option + Command for App Finder, but changing them is recommended when macOS or another app already uses a combination.

How does App Finder choose between apps with the same initial?

Repeat the initial or use the arrow keys to cycle matching candidates. CursorHop remembers the last selected candidate for an initial, supports pinyin initials for Chinese app names, and can restore minimized running apps.

Which Macs can run CursorHop?

CursorHop supports macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. It works with displays recognized by macOS, including common DisplayLink setups, but it does not install display drivers or create virtual displays.
