Sleek Mouse — Emoji Cursors for macOS

A macOS menu bar app that replaces the system arrow with an emoji and swaps it automatically based on the app you are in. The swap happens at the CoreGraphics cursor registry, so every app sees it, and the stock arrow is restored on quit or after a crash. Ships with Brainrot, Work, and Gamer packs, signed and notarized.
