Start at the dot · draw in one stroke
Try letter gestures inside this demo. On your Mac, they work across your desktop.
Draw a letter.
Make it happen.
Draw a letter with your cursor. Let go, and Neon Trail opens the app, runs the Shortcut, or presses the keys you chose. No clicking, no menus.
Learns your handwriting
Draw a letter three times and Neon Trail recognizes it your way from then on.
Private by design
Strokes are recognized on your Mac and never sent anywhere. Neon Trail never records what you type.
Your cursor,
your way.
Shape the glow
Fine-tune width, length, glow, taper, follow speed, and how long the trail lingers.
Nine presets, live preview
Pick a color style from the menu bar and watch it redraw in a live preview before it hits your screen.
Bright on any background
High contrast turns the glow into a smooth matte trail that stays clear on white pages.

Questions, answered.
How do gestures work?
Draw a letter with your cursor in one stroke, without clicking, and let go. Neon Trail runs the action you chose for that letter. You pick the actions, and the key that starts a gesture, in the Gestures tab of the menu.
Why does Neon Trail ask for Accessibility access?
Only three gesture actions need it: Press keys, Take screenshot, and Lock screen, because they press keys for you. Neon Trail asks the first time you use one. Everything else, including the trail itself, works without it.
Does Neon Trail record what I type?
No. Neon Trail never reads your keystrokes. It only notices whether your gesture key is held, and it recognizes letters on your Mac. Strokes and handwriting samples never leave your Mac.
Which Macs does Neon Trail support?
Neon Trail supports macOS 13 and later, including both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
How many Macs can I activate?
Choose Solo for one Mac at $6 or Duo for up to two Macs at $10. Both plans include every feature and future update. You can deactivate a Mac whenever you need to move your license.
Is this a subscription?
No. Solo costs $6 once and Duo costs $10 once. There are no recurring charges.
How do I install it?
Download the DMG, drag NeonTrail into Applications, then enter the key sent to your email. The first unsigned release may require approval in System Settings → Privacy & Security.
Will it interfere with clicks or slow down my Mac?
The transparent overlay ignores mouse clicks, and the native Swift app is designed to remain lightweight while it follows your cursor.
