When Claude needs you to click one button, such as Allow on a permission prompt, it usually types a line into a terminal you are not looking at. bigarrow gives it a finger: it draws an arrow and a sign on top of every window, right at the button.

Here is what it is, how to install it, the one catch, and a prompt to try.

What it does

  • Draws one transparent arrow and sign above every window, on every display. Clicks go straight through it and your keyboard focus stays put.
  • The arrow removes itself. A quick pointer lasts 8 seconds, a long one 300 seconds, and you can set your own time.
  • Claude can point by the button's label, by screen coordinates, or at a whole window or Chrome tab.
  • It is MIT licensed, one small program, no account, no tracking.
