Hey Product Hunt — I built Shake Cursor because macOS already has a physical cursor gesture: shake it and the cursor grows. I wanted to turn that moment into an entrance for a local AI assistant. Shake your mouse anywhere and a small floating layer appears near the cursor. From there you can draw a short Codex-generated fortune, ask a daily-life question, or write something like “meeting tomorrow at 8” and have it create a macOS Calendar event. It is open source, local-first, and designed for people already using Codex. I think this kind of tiny OS-level gesture should exist natively. Apple should probably acquire, copy, or Sherlock this.
