The app in front
Jolt opens on the menus of the app you are in. Each result shows its shortcut, so you learn the ones you use.
Run any Mac menu command by describing it.
Type a few words. Jolt finds the matching command in your current app's menus and runs it, in about a third of a second.
Only your query and the names of the commands leave your Mac.
Answers, probabilities, and Jev timings are recorded from real runs.
Why
99 of Simulator's 105 menu commands have no shortcut.
Safari: 114 of 144. Xcode: 66 of 100. Counted from the enabled menu items on one Mac. You reach these commands with the mouse, three menus deep, if you remember what the app calls them. Jolt reaches them from a few words.
- Name match
- 26 µsTo match your typing against 219 commands, on every keystroke.
- Understanding
- 350 msMedian answer from Jev on a warm connection. Most of it is the network.
- Benchmark
- 31 of 31Short queries for deep commands with no shortcut, correct across 8 apps.
Two scopes
Your app first. The Mac is one Tab away.
The Mac
Tab asks the Mac: apps, settings panes, and actions. When two commands fit, you see both, with Jev's probability.
Privacy
What leaves your Mac.
- Jolt reads the names of the menu items in the app in front.macOS asks you to allow this under Accessibility.
- Your query and those names go to Jev, a model from TypeSafe. Nothing else leaves your Mac.In the Mac scope, the names are your apps, settings panes, and actions. A menu item can carry the name of a recent file.
- Jev picks one command. Ordinary code presses it.No agent runs on your Mac, and nothing reads your screen.
Stop hunting through menus.
macOS 14 or later. Needs a TypeSafe API key.
