Knob HUD
The HUD from Knob, a menu-bar app that lets the Siri Remote drive a Mac, with my Shapeshift reading what you tell it. Hold the remote's Siri button and speak, or tap it and type, and the card forms as the words come in: split a bill, add an event, keep a color, any of Shapeshift's nineteen cards. Open it and the buttons beside the orb become what you can do with it. The remote drives everything: the clickpad moves along the row, Back steps out, hold TV for the timeline and the grips, plus and minus change the button set.
How to drive it
Everything happens from the remote. Hold Siri and say what you want, and the HUD turns it into a card with three things to do. The clickpad moves between them and its middle picks one. Back steps out.

The buttons beside the orb are what you can do with it. Press a side to move, the middle to pick.
