  3. Open it. The download is checked against its SHA-256 fingerprint and its signature is checked on your Mac before it lands in Applications.

Updates to GhostMouse show up in OpenDMG and install with one button. No account is needed.

Prefer to do it by hand? The developer's file is on GitHub: GhostMouse.dmg (1.8 MB).

What is new in GhostMouse 1.3.4

### What Changed in v1.3.4
- **No Immediate Jerk on Activation**: Turning on GhostMouse now enters the initial idle countdown (Start / Resume After Idle) first instead of moving your cursor while your hand is still on the mouse.
- **Full Keyboard & HID Activity Detection**: Uses hardware-level CGEventSource.secondsSinceLastEventType across keyDown, keyUp, flagsChanged, clicks, drags, and scroll wheel so typing in any app immediately pauses or stops GhostMouse.
- **Apple Notarized**: Signed and notarized with Developer ID Application.
