🖥️ Activate macOS Overlay

A macOS parody overlay that mimics the classic "Activate Windows" watermark — but for macOS.

This lightweight Swift app displays a subtle floating message in the bottom-right corner of your screen:

Activate macOS
Go to System Settings to activate macOS.

Useful for memes, screenshots, pranks, or custom setups.


✨ Features

  • Always-on-top transparent overlay
  • Appears in bottom-right corner of all screens
  • Click-through (doesn’t interfere with mouse input)
  • Menu bar icon to quit the app
  • Native macOS SwiftUI + AppKit implementation
  • Lightweight and sandbox-friendly
