Field notes
The page organizes its examples around typed commands and shows outputs such as a currency conversion, a translated phrase, a clipboard entry, and a named window layout. It says settings live in a plain-text file and lists support for both Apple silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 15 or later; the first-launch note flags one extra setup click.
