Your Mac: apps, system and settings

Run your whole Mac by saying it: open, quit or restart apps, free a port, find what fills the disk, flip any switch and reach any setting or menu.

Apps

saf ↵Safari opens; next time, saf alone opens it with no ↵
safThe rest of the name, ari, is drawn faintly after the caret; → or Tab takes it, ↵ still opens the row in hand
turn on google suggestionsWith no row in hand, Google's first completion of your words is drawn faintly too (pizza do → ugh); off until you turn it on, and never sent for an address, a number of four digits or more, a command or a reply to a session
open spotify and play some jazzopen chrome and open the top three on hacker newsThe app opened, then the rest done by what does it (music, a site, a search), or worked out in the browser
slackSlack to open first, then Quit, Restart and Uninstall Slack right under it (quit and restart while it runs, uninstall when you installed it)
restart slackquit all appsApps restarted or quit, asked first when work could be lost
install arcbrew install rectangleThe app from Homebrew: what it is and the exact brew install shown first, installed after a yes; a name Homebrew does not know lists the close ones, and without Homebrew it offers brew.sh and the app's own download
kill teamsforce quit chromeThe matching apps and processes, each quit with a tap
kill and keep typingKill pho not picks Photos and Notes among every app still listed, ␣ marks more, ↵ quits the picked; kill node lists the node processes with their CPU and memory; kill 3000 is the server on that port, stopped after a yes
pin safari to the palettefavorite clipboard historymy favoritesmove ports upYour favorites, first in the palette when nothing is typed; unpin takes one off, favorites.md orders them
windowswindows budgetgo to the budget windowEvery open window by its title, ↵ brings one forward

System

Switches and settings

dark modekeep awake for 2 hoursThe Mac's switches; toggles lists them
night shift ontoggle stage managershow desktopsleep displayscaffeinateThe rest of the switches by the names Raycast gave them; sleep, lock and log out alone are the Mac's (log out asks first, and with a browser in front is the site's)
toggle bluetoothturn off wifiuse airpodsconnect my airpodsmute micflush dnsconnect vpnDevices and network
run shortcut Morning Routinerun the Log Water shortcutOne of your own Shortcuts (the Shortcuts app), found by its name whatever the case, or by the start of it; what can I run lists them with the rest. On Windows, a script of yours in ~/.jevie/shortcuts. My shortcuts stays the names you gave sentences
open trackpad settingsinput soundThe System Settings pane a sentence is about
shortcut for export in figmaexport as pdf in previewAny app's menus and keys, pressed without switching
term jeviebudget numbersA window open now whose title your words name is a row as you type; ↵ brings that window forward instead of starting the app again (a browser's windows are its tabs' rows)
new tabpath barThe menu items of the app you were in show as rows while you type, with their keys; ↵ presses one. From three letters, by the start of a word of the item; never one that deletes, sends or quits
turn on hyper keyCaps Lock as ⌃⌥⇧⌘, for your own shortcuts
calculator historyThe sums you kept with ↵, newest first, ↵ copies an answer again
reset rankingreset ranking for calendarcopy link to my portsWhat the palette learned from your picks forgotten; a jevie:// link that opens Jevie with those words
new safari windowcreate script command deployback up jevieA fresh window of an app, a script with its Raycast header ready to edit, your Jevie files zipped into Documents
!git statuswhich shell am i usingA command as written, or the one that answers. Only a line typed with ! runs as a command: f or git status typed bare is the launcher's (apps, files, pages), never your alias or the program of that name. A command that fails or runs out of its 20 seconds says so in one line, with what to try next, never Done; one written for your words is titled by them, the command itself under the output
what's the current git branch in ~/Repos/appwhat was the last commitis the tree cleanRead from the repository's own files, no command and nothing to approve
git diffshow me the diffany uncommitted changesThe changed files listed, each one's diff beside the list; ⌘J ⌘K walk the files, ⌘L widens the diff, ↵ opens the file

How it works

Every sentence acts on the Mac directly, with nothing to install per command. Apps open the moment you type, even while Jevie is still starting, and an app you always open from the same letters opens without ↵. A slip of the hand still finds the app: chorme is Chrome, slakc Slack, tremnial Terminal (from four letters, one letter swapped, missing, extra or wrong; two in a name of eight letters or more), ranked under anything the letters really start.

The first letters of a name's words find it too: vsc is Visual Studio Code, gc Google Chrome, and sys set System Settings. A letter or three typed favours the app you usually switch to from the one you are in: after Slack, l is Linear before Lightroom, learned from your own switches. Typed with the keyboard left on Russian or Ukrainian, the keys still count: ыфафкш is Safari, and so is сафари spelled in Cyrillic; a Cyrillic name typed in Latin letters (moskva) finds it too.

Three letters running inside a name find it too: tty is Ghostty and kitty. A file is found by the end of its path typed with slashes, kernel/fit or docs/routing, and leads the list over the web's rows. A program you installed but never ran (rec) does not open the command list over an app whose name starts the same way.

Installing runs Homebrew (brew install --cask for an app, brew install for a command-line tool) and only after the yes; Jevie never runs an install script from a web page. Not on Windows yet.

Anything that could lose work asks first: quitting asks the app the way ⌘Q does, and a process or a system port is stopped only after you confirm. Sleep, lock, quit, close and delete run at once only when your own words say them (sleep, lock the screen, quit notes); when Jevie only inferred one, from a sentence it said again in its own words, a close call or a word inside something else (I need to sleep, stop all agents), it asks first and a yes does it. Nothing like that runs before you finish speaking.

Limits

While the engine is away the palette finds apps only; files, tabs, sessions and answers come back with it.
Opening without ↵ is the Mac palette's alone; on Windows and in the web palette ↵ still opens an app.
uninstall on Windows lists the programs Settings › Apps lists (the Uninstall registry, yours and every user's) and the Store apps Windows lets you remove; Windows' own apps, Microsoft's runtimes and kits (Visual C++, .NET, SDKs), updates and Jevie itself are left out. The yes opens the program's own uninstaller, which asks the rest, or removes the Store app. Last opened there is only what Jevie saw in front, so an app not used since Jevie arrived says never seen opened. empty recycle bin is empty the Trash, after the same yes. open trash (or open recycle bin) opens the Recycle Bin in Explorer, and back up jevie zips your Jevie files into Documents\Jevie Backups as on the Mac.

A key another app already holds is reported, not taken.
Startup: apps that add themselves to Login Items (most newer ones) show only in System Settings, where login items settings opens; the list of them is the administrator's. What starts for every user (/Library) is listed, never changed, and Jevie's own items are kept. A background program turned off stays off (launchctl disable); its file is never moved.
Menu presses in the background never delete, send, quit or close.

Where it's kept

Settings of these live in macOS itself.

In Jevie, help run shortcut answers from this page as you type.
