See every featureYour storefront shows the same default arrow as every other site. Cursors by Codeja replaces it with one you choose. Browse the library by store category and by visual style, hover any cursor to try it as your real pointer, then apply it in one click. Where a cursor's shape suits it, add motion: spin, pulse, blink, wobble or orbit.
Kinetic Studio animates your storefront two ways. Point and click on your live store to add entrance, scroll, hover, and text effects to elements your theme already has - no code, no theme edits, and deleting an animation restores everything instantly. Or add complete Motion Engine sections: scroll-driven product stories, 3D carousels and showcases, video scrubbing, liquid imagery, and animated text.
