- Let the work keep going: keep your Mac awake for an hour, four hours, or until you turn it off. Pro adds keeping it awake with the lid closed.

One window, not your whole desktop.
Heron streams only the window you pick, so the text you care about gets the whole picture. Choose another window from the list any time.
It heals itself.
When a frame goes missing, Heron recovers from a long-term reference instead of waiting for a fresh keyframe.
