Google has quietly published a new Play Store listing for Magic Pointer, an unannounced app built for Googlebooks. Updated on July 10, the app turns the cursor into a Gemini shortcut that can act on whatever a user selects on screen, such as sending an image to Lens, generating a related image, or surfacing a shopping action. Regular Android devices currently show as incompatible, so the listing offers an early preview. Google LLC is listed as the developer, and the app page identifies this as Magic Pointer’s initial release. The app first appeared on June 9, later reached version 1.0.260708, and had passed 1,000 downloads when the listing surfaced. A standalone Play Store package could make Magic Pointer easier for Google to update, although Google hasn’t confirmed how it plans to handle updates. Regular Android phones and tablets can’t install Magic Pointer right now, and Google also hasn’t announced when Googlebooks or the feature will become available to consumers. Google is expected to share more Googlebook details this fall.
