App and folder shortcuts
Launch or focus apps and open favorite folders with your own key combinations. Configure the destinations you use most in Settings.
⌃⌥⌘S
Features
Your frequent actions deserve their own shortcuts.
CommandSmith is a free macOS app built around direct keyboard shortcuts. Launch apps and folders, paste recent downloads, recall clipboard entries, and arrange windows. Use the palette to search more actions, set timers, and access integrations.
Paste recent downloads
Paste your newest download straight into an app that accepts files. Use 1 through 9 to choose recent downloads without hunting through Finder.
⌥⇧1–9
Direct clipboard paste
Paste recent clipboard entries with numbered shortcuts. Open clipboard history when you want to browse, preview, or search for something older.
⌃⇧1–9
Window shortcuts
Move windows into halves, fill the screen, center them, or restore their previous position. Defaults use the physical left Control key.
⌃←
AI text shortcuts
Rewrite, summarize, explain, or clean up text with a shortcut. Optional AI actions need your own provider; its charges are separate.
⌃⌥R
A palette for more actions
Search actions, set timers, or use configured Home Assistant and GitHub integrations. The palette is another way to interact alongside direct shortcuts.
⌥Space
How it feels
