What is MouseViz?
MouseViz is a native macOS app that records mouse movements, clicks, scrolls, and keyboard activity — then visualizes it as heatmaps, cursor trails, click patterns, and more.
It's built for:
- UX Researchers — Run usability studies with AI-generated task scripts, session metadata, task markers, and automated reports.
- Content Creators — Record annotated screen demos with heatmap overlays and video export.
- Educators & Analysts — Understand interaction patterns with 3D heatmaps, velocity maps, rage click detection, and attention flow visualization.
Pricing
MouseViz is free to use with a 3-minute session limit and basic features. MouseViz Pro ($9.99 one-time) unlocks unlimited recording, all export formats, AI features, video editor, and advanced analysis. Every new install includes a 7-day Pro trial.
