- Worth noticing
- A 10% edge strip requires a physical click before sliding, while the live demo simulates values rather than changing Mac settings.
Field notes
The page describes four edge zones: left and right strips for display brightness and volume, the bottom edge for media seeking, and two top corners for assigned actions. Gestures require a physical click inside a 10% strip; the demo reproduces zone geometry and readouts but explicitly simulates the Mac-side values. The maker says the cursor freezes during a slide and returns to its prior position, with haptic feedback and quarter-step control.
