- Worth noticing
- The page says Noma asks before saving a repeated sequence and does not observe what you type.
Field notes
The walkthrough places four controls at trackpad edges and shows them changing with the active app. Its example crosses VS Code, Claude, and GitHub, while the page says users can review or dismiss a proposed saved sequence. The displayed workflow-catching notice is identified as recreated for the page, so it demonstrates the intended interaction rather than verifying the running software.
