About the startup

Corporate calls don’t have to feel like a root canal We’ve all been there. You’re sharing your screen, the room goes silent, and your tiny default cursor is doing all the heavy lifting. Yikes. Pokey turns your Mac cursor into an expressive, tap-dancing tiny hand (and much more) that brings instant life and emotion to your screen shares. It’s the ultimate icebreaker for anyone who lives in video calls. Whether you want to give a subtle, polite nudge to a design detail or go full-on, impossible-to-miss tap-tap-tap on a revenue chart — Pokey lets you express how you actually feel in real time. A tiny app you’ll love: * Break the Ice Instantly: Disarm stiff stakeholders, make your team smile, and turn passive viewers into engaged listeners. * Expressive Tapping: Switch from a shy finger nudge to an in-your-face tapping mode. * Presentation Mode: Want to jab at a slide without accidentally flipping to the next page or opening a link? One hotkey locks your clicks so you can go wild safely. * Choose Your Persona: Switch between a tiny hand or a cat paw (more personas to come!). * Works Everywhere: Fully visible in screen shares, video calls, screen recordings, and OBS setups. Who is Pokey for? * Founders & Salespeople who want their pitch to stand out and be remembered. * Designers & PMs who need to point out details without losing everyone’s attention. * Educators & Presenters tired of talking to a room full of muted mics. * Anyone who believes work should have a little more joy and a lot less dullness. Life is too short for lifeless presentations. Grab Pokey and have some fun on your next call 😃
