Homebrew Tap for Cursor Control

This is the Homebrew tap for Cursor Control, a macOS menu bar app for moving the mouse cursor, clicking, dragging, and scrolling with the keyboard.

Main app repository:

https://github.com/syedhy/Cursor-Control

Before You Install

Cursor Control is currently ad-hoc signed and not Apple-notarized because it is distributed without an Apple Developer Program account.

On first launch, macOS may show a warning such as:

Apple could not verify "Cursor Control.app" is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.

Depending on your macOS version, the dialog may offer Done, Cancel, or Move to Trash. Do not click Move to Trash if you want to use the app.

To open Cursor Control:

1. Click Done or Cancel on the warning.
2. Open System Settings.
3. Go to Privacy & Security.
4. Scroll to the message about Cursor Control.app.
5. Click Open Anyway.
6. Confirm Open.

Some macOS versions may also allow Control-clicking Cursor Control.app in Applications and choosing Open, but Privacy & Security > Open Anyway is the most reliable method.

Install

This tap requires Homebrew to be installed first.

brew tap syedhy/cursor-control
brew trust --cask syedhy/cursor-control/cursor-control
brew install --cask syedhy/cursor-control/cursor-control

The cask installs Cursor Control.app from the official GitHub Release ZIP and verifies the download with a SHA-256 checksum before installing.

After Installation

1. Open Cursor Control.app from Applications.
2. Follow the first-launch steps above if macOS blocks it.
3. Grant Accessibility access when prompted.
4. Use the menu bar icon to open the guide, settings, or quit the app.

Update

brew update
brew upgrade --cask syedhy/cursor-control/cursor-control

Uninstall

brew uninstall --cask syedhy/cursor-control/cursor-control

To remove app preferences too:

brew zap --cask syedhy/cursor-control/cursor-control
