A real macOS desktop, Hacker News of 2014-06-10 in Chrome, nine bigarrow arrows in nine colours from every side: same since 2007, already argued in 2014, not a lurker? log in, the article is in here, remember me? (Firefox 30), nothing. nothing changed. (a spiral, going round in circles), 20,000 devs 40,000 opinions, finally a bigger arrow, 12 years later: still no consensus

System Settings, Device Control and Data Access: a green arrow with a close button, Franz, switch this on: Terminal may control your Mac, and an orange zigzag ring on the plus button: Not in the list? Plus. Then find it.

Keynote: a purple ring, 1. Click Animate; an orange box, 2. Add an Effect; a teal zigzag on Play, 3. Press play. Bask in the applause.

TextEdit print dialog: a pink arrow, Mom, click PDF, then Save as PDF, and a small black one on Cancel: Not this one, Mom

Chrome, three windows, 14 tabs, a big indigo sign: It's this tab, not the other 13

The guide as a 6-page PDF: page thumbnails on the left, page 1 large on the right, How to allow screen recording on a Mac, step 1 with an arrow at Privacy & Security

What it does

One transparent window above everything, on every display and every Space. Drawing needs no macOS permission at all. One Swift binary: no daemon, no menu-bar icon, no account, no telemetry, and, we checked twice, no AI inside. It is an arrow.
