Every new release of (mac)OS( X), I rush to see whether the Grab.app creepy eye camera[0] has been replaced, and every time I breathe a sigh of relief. Sadly though, a few versions ago it stopped following the mouse cursor.

- Razengan 10y agoNice easter egg! I just checked it myself. Although the eye doesn't "follow" the cursor, it still animates when you move the cursor, if you choose Capture -> Selection or Screen, but not if you Capture Window.
- mikestew 10y agoEl Capitan here, creepy eye is still creepy and following my cursor around. Don't have Sierra machine to test at the moment.
- ksherlock 10y agostill present in sierra.
- hibbelig 10y agoIt doesn't follow the mouse pointer. Does anyone know of a macOS equivalent of xeyes?
- 49para 10y agoYou have to select "selection" mode, the others modes don't follow.
- hibbelig 10y agoMy (20 seconds) experience: In "selection" mode there is an eye and it moves when my mouse moves, but it does not follow the mouse pointer. For example, I could move my mouse to the right, and the eye will go both left and right, or I could move my mouse up and down and the eye will still go left and right.

- polpo 10y agoMe too! It's one of the first things I check when upgrading. I was worried it wouldn't survive the first Retina version of Lion and then the flattening of Yosemite, but nope, it's still going strong. I hope they're leaving it in as an Easter egg intentionally.
- flomo 10y agoI had no idea that Grab.app was still around, because Preview.app does mostly the same thing. I'd guess it is hanging around as a backward-compatibility thing.
