RIDEWORD v1.0.0 · macOS · Windows

Your script,
alive.

Mid-demo, deep in your IDE. You need the next section. Alt-tab kills the illusion. Rideword pins your script above every window — transparent, stationary, out of the input layer.

ALWAYS ON TOP

⬆ Floats over everything.

Sits above VS Code, your browser, a terminal, Figma — whatever you're running. No virtual desktops, no workspace gymnastics. Your place in the script stays put.

CLICK-THROUGH MODE

↕ Invisible to input.

Turn on click-through and it exits the input layer entirely. Clicks, keystrokes, scrolls — all pass straight to the app beneath. Your demo app gets full focus. Rideword is just light on glass.

SECTION NAVIGATOR

# Jump by heading.

## headings become labeled checkpoints. Jump to the next section from anywhere — no mouse, no focus switch.

AUTO-SCROLL

↓ Hands free.

Set a speed and let it run. Adjust on the fly with a hotkey. Your hands stay on the keyboard.

SAFETY MODEL

⚿ Three ways out. Always.

Click-through makes the overlay input-transparent. That is a real risk if you lose the hotkey. Three independent escape paths are always live — if one fails, the others still work.

→ Cmd+T / Ctrl+T Global shortcut. Registered before click-through can be enabled. If registration fails, click-through is blocked.
→ Hover strip Move cursor to control bar. Mouse input temporarily restored. No keyboard needed.
→ System tray Always visible. Always provides Disable Click-Through + Show Window + Quit.

LOCAL-FIRST

□ Nothing leaves.

No backend. No account. No telemetry. Your script stays on your machine. One network call on license activation — nothing else, ever.

OPACITY CONTROL

◑ Dial it down.

Dial transparency up or down so the overlay sits behind your work without hiding it. One slider, tuned to your monitor and ambient light.

Your script,
alive.
