unclutter

Unclutter is a command line tool commonly found in Unix-like operating systems. It is designed to hide the mouse cursor when it is not in use. The tool achieves this by moving the cursor to a designated "unclutter" area on the screen. When the mouse is moved, the cursor becomes visible again. Unclutter can improve the aesthetics and reduce distraction by eliminating the constant presence of the mouse cursor. It is often used in presentations, demonstrations, and other situations where the mouse cursor is not needed or desired. It provides various options to customize its behavior, such as specifying the idle time after which the mouse cursor disappears, the color of the "unclutter" area, and the exclusion of certain applications from its effects. Unclutter is a lightweight tool with a small memory footprint and minimal impact on system resources. It is a useful utility for individuals who prefer a cleaner desktop or for those who regularly give presentations or demonstrations.
