First Public Release

v1.0.0

The first public release of MouseViz — a native macOS app that visualizes mouse movements, clicks, and scroll patterns in real time.

Recording

Record mouse activity across all apps with a configurable countdown timer, pause/resume support, and automatic event streaming to disk for bounded-memory recording.

Five Visualization Modes

  • Heatmap — density map of mouse activity with configurable opacity and fade
  • Trail — motion path following the cursor
  • Click Pulses — visual ripple effects on clicks
  • Spotlight — focus circle that highlights the active area
  • Dead Zones — reveals areas of the screen with no mouse activity

Floating Control Bar

A CleanShot-style floating bar for quick access to recording controls, visualization toggles, and settings. Pin it to any screen edge, drag to reposition, or collapse to compact icon mode.

Export

Export your sessions as PNG screenshots, heatmap-only images, MP4 video with overlay, GIF for quick sharing, or raw JSON for external analysis.

UX Research Tools

Run structured study scripts with task markers, timestamped notes, and a floating conductor window. Compare sessions side by side and analyze recordings with AI-powered insights.

Full control from the menu bar — start/stop tracking, switch visualization modes, filter by app, and access all features without leaving your workflow.
