- There's a bunch of other apps in this space.
Previously I was using LeaderKey: https://github.com/mikker/LeaderKey - Free, open source, no longer being actively developed.
The Dev for LeaderKey evolved that into Tuna: https://tunaformac.com/pro - One-time $49 for Pro, Free in Beta - Has a bunch of new features and is activly developed
I stopped using LeaderKey because it wasn't going to receive continued support. I stopped using Tuna because the new complexity of the main app wasn't clicking for me.
So I returned to Raycast and set shortcuts to launch apps, but it doesn't have the nesting feature that I really enjoyed from LeaderKey/Tuna.
One thing to call out on the website. I wanted to see what this looked like and how it works, but on the website it asks you to press caps lock to bring up the interface. I have Caps Lock rebound to Hyperkey, so I can't see what this looks like. Maybe add an on-screen caps lock button or add some screenshots farther down the page?
Going to give this a try as well!
- I also remained in Raycast after playing with those and other apps. Too much works well there, for me. (I launch apps with C-1 to C-3 to be honest.. I wish I could memorize a couple more...)
- This needs full keystroke access (accessibility + input monitoring). fine for karabiner which everyone's audited, but a brand new solo project? how are people thinking about that?
- I’ll play around and see if it works with reduced permissions. I understand your concern.
FWIW there’s no outgoing network requests or telemetry, nor logging. Thanks for checking it out anyway
- Gave the repo to Claude and asked for an audit. Seems ok.
- Quite cool, I had to run locally for it to work. Problem is I already use Raycast to set-up virtually the same thing, and use "Caps as Control" in the terminal commands (C-a, C-c...)
