- Its screen-control method overlays a labeled grid, zooms into a chosen cell, then maps the click back to screen coordinates.
Field notes
The page describes longer tasks running as background jobs, with progress updates and the option to steer a running task through another message. For screen actions, it lays a labeled grid over the display, zooms into a selected cell, and maps the resulting click back to screen coordinates. The site also names smrti as its memory engine; claims about what it remembers and forgets are presented by the project, not independently verified.
