Marks

What it is, in five beats

The ticker: A slim, always-on strip of headlines at the edge of the screen — glance at it or ignore it, nothing interrupts.
The Signal 500: Every source is hand-picked and scored in the open — editorial quality, ad restraint, independence — with the method published.
Curated sets: Fifteen one-tap bundles, from Breaking News to a Mac pillar (Daring Fireball, MacStories, Six Colors…) and a Zeitgeist set of what the world is looking up right now.
It follows your music: Play a song and the ticker re-tunes to the artist — press, videos, gigs, similar artists, podcasts. Room identification is opt-in and on-device; audio never leaves the Mac.
The board: The same feeds full-screen — a spare monitor or the office wall — showing the album while music plays.
