Score: 5.3/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 5, Documentation: 3, Utility: 6)

Beckon is a macOS menu bar app that brings an app switcher ring to the mouse pointer, allowing flick-based selection of apps and windows without traveling to the Dock. It's a clever, focused utility that addresses a common friction point for mouse-heavy users on large screens, with a privacy-first and lightweight design.

Target audience: macOS power users and developers seeking faster mouse-driven app switching
