Field notes
The browser demo exposes grab-and-flick interaction plus sensitivity, sound, language, and reset controls. The product page describes five synthesized crack variations and says the native app follows the cursor across multiple displays and Spaces. It also claims the app runs sandboxed without accounts, analytics, or network access; those are product-page statements, not independently verified behavior.
