Field notes
PointerPause describes a keyboard-triggered pause for pointer input, with a displayed 0.8-second recovery delay before normal trackpad and mouse behavior returns. Its privacy section says the utility runs entirely on the Mac, detects only that typing began, and uses no accounts, analytics, or network access. The extract does not show a download or purchase path, so the page establishes the mechanism more clearly than the access route.
