Limelight

Make your online lessons easy to follow

Teaching over a screen means students lose your cursor and miss the shortcuts you use. Limelight spotlights your pointer, shows your keystrokes, and lets you draw on anything — so every student can follow along.

Whether you teach live or record lessons, a tiny cursor and invisible shortcuts leave students guessing. Limelight gives them the visual cues they need: a glowing spotlight that follows your mouse, on-screen keystrokes, and live drawing to circle the important part.

It works over any app — your slides, a code editor, a browser, a whiteboard — and over Zoom, Meet, or any recorder. One hotkey per tool, nothing to set up mid-class.

Fully offline as a live overlay, with a one-time $9 price that fits a teacher budget and a 7-day free trial.
