NEW · CONTROL DIAL PAGE

Four dials.
One in every corner.

A page with nothing in the middle to hit. Your thumb already rests on a corner—so that is where the controls live.

NEW · ON THE MAC ITSELF

Your screen edges
are controls now.

No window to open, no menu to hunt for. Push the pointer at an edge and a ruler rises out of it. Push it into a corner and a dial unfurls. Let go and the desktop is exactly as you left it.

01

A ruler on the edge

Sixty ticks of travel. The ones near your value light up blue and stretch, so you read the level without looking for a number.

02

A dial in the corner

The same ruler, bent around a corner. Your pointer is already there when it hits the edge of the screen — so the target is infinitely large.

03

You can hear the steps

Every notch clicks. Scroll fast and it ratchets; hit either end and the click lands heavier. Turn it off if you would rather it were silent.

04

Gone when you are done

It collapses a moment after you leave and fades out entirely. Clicks pass straight through to whatever is underneath.

Edge controls walkthrough: push the pointer to any edge, a ruler rises from it, push into a corner and a dial unfurls, let go and it disappears.

Watch it become a clock.

A page with nothing to press. Prop the phone on a stand and the time takes the whole screen—twenty-one displays, all running live right here.
