UI-TARS Desktop is a serious local computer-use agent — if you lock down the setup

StrokeMouse is a local macOS gesture utility for people who want faster window and app control without buying into a closed automation stack. Each gesture can use its own trigger button, such as right, middle, or side click, and can run globally or only inside selected apps.
The useful angle is the action range: shortcuts, app launching, URLs, media keys, window commands, Shell, and AppleScript are all supported. Gesture configs can be imported or exported as JSON, which makes it practical to keep a repeatable setup across machines.
Check the caveats before installing. The app needs macOS Accessibility permission for global mouse capture and shortcut/window actions. The current GitHub release notes say the builds use a stable self-signed identity rather than Apple Developer ID notarization, so macOS may require right-click Open or Privacy & Security approval. Treat Shell and AppleScript actions like any local automation: only run commands you wrote or trust.
Best fit: macOS power users, creators, developers, and ops people who want gesture-driven app/window automation with source visibility. Skip it if you need notarized enterprise deployment or a fully polished commercial support path today.
