Matrix Cursor Trail is a customizable Framer component that adds a glowing symbol-based cursor trail to your site.
Inspired by digital rain, cyber interfaces, and Matrix-style motion graphics, the component creates a trail of Japanese-style symbols, katakana, kanji, numbers, and alphanumeric glyphs that follow the cursor with smooth fading, vertical fall, drift, glow, and subtle motion variation.
It is designed for dark, futuristic, cyberpunk, AI, developer, gaming, creative portfolio, and experimental Framer sites.
You can customize the symbol set, color, head symbol, glow color, symbol size, density, trail length, fade duration, spacing, spread, fall speed, drift, rotation, opacity, blur, blend mode, z-index, and native cursor visibility directly inside Framer.
