Field notes
The page describes a native menu-bar app triggered by a trackpad tap or swipe, with nested groups for apps, websites, and actions. Its feature list also names window tiling, Chrome tabs and bookmarks, Slack destinations, and macros that chain keystrokes with app launches; a single organizer is said to expose keys, gestures, and conflicts. The browser demo is labeled as a simulation and says it does not open apps, record audio, or alter Mac settings.
