About Gravity Cursor Trail

Gravity Cursor Trail drops a trail of little shapes behind the pointer. Each one pops into place, spins, and falls away under gravity: a playful layer of motion that makes a page feel alive the moment someone moves the mouse.

Choose from seven built-in shapes in your own colours, or use your own images for a branded trail. Run it across the full page, or keep it inside a single frame.
