Frequently asked
- Does Custom Cursor work with React and Vue?
- Custom Cursor ships as React (Next.js included), Vue 3 (Nuxt included), plain HTML/CSS/JS - the same animation in each format. The React version uses the official useGSAP hook with cleanup handled; the Vue version is a real single-file component with <script setup>.
- Do I need GSAP to use Custom Cursor?
- Yes. Custom Cursor is built on GSAP directly, and GSAP has been 100% free for commercial use, including every plugin, since version 3.13. The component page lists exactly what to install.
- Is Custom Cursor free?
- Custom Cursor is part of the Annnimate Library, a paid subscription (from EUR 249/year). The live preview and customization run free on this page; the paste-ready code is for members.
- Can I use Custom Cursor in client projects?
- Yes. The Annnimate license covers commercial and client work - ship Custom Cursor on as many projects as you build, with no attribution required.
- Does Custom Cursor respect prefers-reduced-motion?
- Yes. Every Annnimate component handles prefers-reduced-motion via gsap.matchMedia, so users who opt out of motion get an effectively instant, readable state.
