bigarrow: macOS CLI that draws click-through arrows for AI agents

Image: Hacker News (100+ points)

Why it matters for readers: It’s a lightweight, privacy-friendly way for software to point at things on your screen so you can decide what to do.

  • bigarrow is a single small Swift binary that draws click-through annotations on top of everything on macOS and requires no permissions.1
  • The annotations never steal focus, work across displays and Spaces, and the tool contains no daemon, menu-bar icon, account, telemetry, or AI.1
  • The project is MIT-licensed and intended to help AI agents point at UI elements they cannot or should not click themselves (permission dialogs, 2FA, CAPTCHAs, consent screens).1
  • Usage examples include commands like bigarrow point --element "Allow" --app "System Settings" --text "Franz, click Allow" to show a friendly pointer.1
