Spinning Wait Cursor as seen in OS X El Capitan
The spinning pinwheel is a type of throbber or variation of the mouse pointer used in Apple's macOS to indicate that an application is busy.[1]
Officially, the macOS Human Interface Guidelines refers to it as the spinning wait cursor,[2] but it is also known by other names. These include, but are not limited to the spinning beach ball,[3] the spinning wheel of death,[4] or the spinning beach ball of death.[5]
