## Platform support

- Windows: full support.
- macOS: full support after granting Accessibility permissions to the terminal or packaged app.
- Linux X11/Xorg: full whip mode when `xdotool` is installed.
- Linux Wayland: the app prefers X11/XWayland automatically when available so the overlay can render more reliably; global typing into native Wayland apps may still be unavailable by design.

### Linux notes

For full Linux automation on X11/Xorg, install `xdotool` first.

Examples:

```bash
# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt install xdotool

# Fedora
sudo dnf install xdotool

# Arch
sudo pacman -S xdotool
```

Wayland sessions can still run the app, but some desktops block the exact cross-app keyboard automation this toy relies on. On GNOME-like desktops, tray support may also depend on AppIndicator/StatusNotifier extensions.

On GNOME, badclaude also shows a small floating launcher window because the tray icon is often hidden entirely.

## Controls

- Click tray icon: spawn whip.
