Volume

The volume, out of the way.

Background

On a Mac, the volume keys bring up a panel under the menu bar, right where most websites or windows keep their buttons. macOS had no setting to hide it. When iterating fast, that can be frustrating.

Before

The Mac's panel, over the prototype's toolbar.

After

A 4 px bar at the top-left edge. It fills as the volume goes up, then fades.

In the margin

Most pages keep 16 px clear at the screen's edge. The bar fits inside it, and always stays out of the way.

How it's built

Designed by me, built with Claude, which wrote the Swift.
