In the macro maker there doesn't appear to be a way to exit the recorder and get back to the main application screen.

After some fumbling about it becomes apparent one only needs to close the window, the main application is still there in another window behind this one.
I was primed to not notice this was a distinct app window because Maker has the same menu bar (File, Edit, ... Help) with the same submenus, and those submenus don't make any sense in this context. Removing the menu bar in the Recorder would help guide to the understanding this is a pop-up window that can be safely dismissed without exiting Buckets altogether.
