What is Big Arrow on the Screen?
Big Arrow on the Screen is a free, open-source macOS command-line tool and skill for Claude Code and Codex. Agents draw arrows, boxes and short notes over any window to show you exactly where to click, while clicks pass through, focus stays put and each arrow removes itself.
