Just released Signboard 1.0.1. I spent the first week since release focusing only on reliability and security. It is pretty solid, I love it. You can use the “Check for updates" feature to get the latest.
I also wrote a blog post about the release: https://cdevroe.com/2026/03/20/signboard-released/
So fun!
@louie My apologies. You’re right that it didn't answer anything. I'll limit not-helpful replies in the future.
If it helps, it isn’t a unique Safari behavior. It seems to be any native app with a sidebar (I’ve tested Mail and Xcode so far). So if there’s a way to disable it, it may be a deep preference affecting AppKit itself and not a per-app setting.
@glyph made the point that the Neo is an implicit promise from Apple that macOS will run just fine on 8 GB of memory for the next 8 years.
But I think it goes farther than that: Apple made a reference device for application developers. They've never been shy about enforcing requirements on developers, and this is an interesting positive side to that: developers now have a huge incentive to make applications that fit within modest memory limits.
During the outsourcing and offshoring craze a decade or two ago everyone hired cheap developers in India and eventually companies realized that that doesn’t work.
Now they’re trying the same with outsourcing to LLMs.
The bottleneck in software development isn’t coding.
It’s management and design.
