Big Arrow On The Screen
Big Arrow On The Screen is a macOS CLI tool and agent skill that lets AI agents point at screen elements with big arrows.
Big Arrow On The Screen is a small macOS CLI binary and agent skill that enables AI agents to point at screen elements, buttons, and windows using click-through visual indicators. It displays a big, friendly arrow and sign on top of everything without stealing focus, requiring no permissions to draw. It supports multiple displays, Spaces, and full-screen apps, running without a daemon, menu-bar icon, account, telemetry, or internal AI. Users can target specific coordinates, rectangles, mouse positions, windows, or accessibility elements. Commands include time limits, manual stops, clickable close buttons, speech output via text-to-speech, and JSON output for agent integration. It is designed for software agents needing human assistance with permission dialogs, approvals, or multi-window workflows.
