When Claude hits a step only you can do, like clicking Allow in a permission dialog, it usually types "please click Allow" into a terminal you aren't looking at. bigarrow is a small free Mac tool that gives it a finger: it draws a big arrow and a sign on top of any app, pointing at the exact button.

Here's how to install it, what it will and won't do, and a prompt to try.

What it does

  • Draws an arrow and a sign over every window. Clicks go straight through it and your keyboard focus stays where it was.
  • It never clicks, types or captures anything. It only points.
  • The arrow removes itself: 8 seconds for a quick point, up to 5 minutes for one that stays. You can also close it.
  • No account, no telemetry, no background process, and it's MIT licensed.
