Dual Monitor Auto Mouse Lock

Dual Monitor Auto Mouse Lock is a handy tool for anyone who works with a dual-monitor setup. You know those times when you’re trying to find your mouse cursor on one screen, and you end up clicking around, making mistakes? Yeah, that’s exactly what this software is here to help prevent!

Why Use Dual Monitor Auto Mouse Lock?

This tool, often called DMAML for short, is just perfect when you're juggling multiple applications across two screens. It locks your mouse cursor to the screen that’s running a full-screen application. So, if you're focused on a presentation or video game, you won’t accidentally click something on the other monitor.

Sit Back and Let It Do Its Thing

One of the cool things about Dual Monitor Auto Mouse Lock is that it runs quietly in the system tray. You can go about your work without it getting in your way! Just take a little time to set it up at first – it's super easy and only needs to be done once. The app can spot both of your monitors and lets you pick which one is the default.

Customizable Settings Just for You

By default, DMAML locks your mouse cursor on any screen that has an application in full-screen mode. When you switch back to a smaller window, it automatically unlocks the cursor. If you have certain apps you want to exclude from this action, you can totally do that too!

Status Icons: Easy Monitoring

The settings menu lets you change how everything works too! You'll see an icon in the system tray – it could be round or square depending on its status. Here’s how it works: if the icon is red, your mouse is locked; green means unlocked; magenta or blue shows it's paused.

Sound Notifications & Hotkeys

If visual cues aren’t enough for you, DMAML also offers sound notifications when its status changes! This feature might not be turned on by default, but no worries; just check out the settings! Plus, changing its state can be done easily using hotkeys.

A Must-Have for Dual Monitors

In short, Dual Monitor Auto Mouse Lock makes working with dual monitors way easier by locking your mouse where it needs to be. Sure, you can exclude some apps if needed but having DMAML around makes sense if you're using two screens!
