Today’s catch: six things that stay out of the way until you summon them. A solar fence light that waits in ambient dim until something crosses its sensor; a Mac voice-trigger that clicks any visible text; the VS Code command palette retrofitted into every Mac app; keyboard control for arbitrary UI elements; a Shortcut that fans a URL across every web archive at once; and the Android lasso that searches whatever you trace on screen. Different mediums, same posture — invisible by default, useful on trigger.

Trace a finger around anything on screen to search it — image, text, product
