Without an app
macOS has no built-in way to hide the pointer. It hides the pointer by itself in two cases:
- Typing: In many apps, the pointer hides while you type in a text field, and shows again when you move the mouse.
- Video: Video players, like QuickTime Player and the video player of Safari, hide the pointer in fullscreen after a few seconds.
When you only watch fullscreen video, this is enough. Supercharge is for the other apps, like a document that you read or show to others.
