AutoRaise VS Kap

I'm not sure they appeal to the same group of users. macOS is IMNHO much worse than GNU/Linux with a proper window manager, much less comfortable to use with multiple desktops, and forces the use of a mouse/trackpad way too much.[1]

The m2 can run Linux - but external display support is probably a long way off.

So for the user wanting to run Linux - m2 isn't really viable - unless you actually work on it with just the built-in screen - for me that doesn't work ergonomically.

I have the m2 - it's not terrible - I suspect I'd prefer one of these.

[1] Rectangle and AutoRaise helps a lot, making the UX livable:

There used to be third-party tools to enable focus-follows-mouse and universal clickthrough, but I'm not sure any still exist for recent OS versions. Seems like it should be possible though. Maybe AutoRaise can do what you want? Looks like you'd need to compile it yourself with custom flags though. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67258537/focus-follows-mouse-on-macos

*PS* I have already tried AutoRaise (https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise). But, basically what it does is: Change FOCUS on mouse hover. That's NOT what I need.

AutoRaise for focus-follow-mouse. I don't want auto raise, so that is disabled https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise

People discussing this a long time ago (stackexchange) mention a project called AutoRaise. No idea if it still works.

My buddy actually got an achievement on github by accepting and merging his own pull request within 5 minutes on his https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise repository...

On the mini, I was running AutoRaise. On the Macbook Air, I was running AutoFocus.

I don’t think there is a setting in built (happy to be corrected). Had stumbled upon this sometime back. Check it out. https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise

Install AutoRaise or something similar that allows you to focus on windows just by moving your cursor over them or hovering over them while holding a modifier key.

For MacOS: Kap - https://github.com/wulkano/Kap

I thought it was Kap for a moment https://getkap.co/ similar name, similar product (but that one is ready to use).

Also a bit confused as it seems there is nothing there besides an idea and a landing page.

Kap - Price: Free Screen recording app for Mac that allows you to record your screen and webcam with ease.

If you want free yet still powerful, check out the open-source kap. Pair it with something like BlackHole to reroute your system audio into kap and you've got a great combo without spending a dime.

I just came across Kap, via 👉 https://indiegoodies.com/awesome-mac-apps … maybe it fits your needs? I'll be trying it too.

Another alternative po which i’ve been using is the free open source screen recorder called kap

Kap is great https://getkap.co/
