Questions.
Is there a free Cursorful alternative?
Yes. Zoomingscreen is free to use with every feature. Free exports go up to 1080p with a small mark, and Pro removes it.
Does Zoomingscreen work outside Chrome?
Yes. The desktop app records your whole screen or a window on Windows, macOS and Linux, and on a whole screen it zooms on clicks in every app.
