MouseStride
A lightweight system tray app that tracks how far your mouse cursor travels. Available for macOS and Windows.
Features
- Real-time distance tracking — today and all-time stats in the system tray, DPI-aware
- Automatic unit detection — metric or imperial based on your locale
- Community dashboard — anonymous stats auto-sync to a live leaderboard every 15 minutes
- Zero UI — runs silently in the system tray, click for stats and dashboard link
- Cross-platform — same leaderboard for macOS and Windows users
Install
macOS
Requirements: macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later
Installer
Download the latest MouseStride.pkg, double-click it, and follow the installer. The menu-bar icon appears immediately after install. On first mouse movement, macOS will ask permission for Input Monitoring — click Allow.
The installer is signed and notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper will not warn you.
