big-arrow

bigarrow draws a click-through arrow with a sign, needs no permission and never takes the focus. Point at the thing itself, a line in the terminal is easy to miss.

Needs bigarrow 0.5.1 or newer. If bigarrow --version prints an older one, run brew upgrade franzenzenhofer/tap/bigarrow first: an old binary has no card and prints {{value}} as plain text.

open "x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference.security?Privacy_ScreenCapture"
bigarrow start --element "Ghostty" --app "System Settings" --text "Franz, switch this on: Ghostty may record your screen" --say
# watch for the result (page changed, job continued, file appeared), then:
bigarrow stop
