Sudare

Design your own command launcher.

Open a visual command menu with keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures, or double-tap modifiers. Launch apps, run scripts, and see live updates – all from one menu.

Features

Keyboard. Mouse. Both. Your choice.

Powerful Shortcuts

Use keyboard, mouse, or both. Traditional key combos for precision, key sequences for memorable workflows, double-tap modifiers for one-handed access, and mouse gestures for quick navigation. Once open, navigate commands with keyboard or mouse. Choose what feels natural for each command.

Context-Aware Automation

Adapts to what you're doing right now.

Context-Aware Automation

Create app-specific commands that only appear when specific apps are active. Automatically run commands when apps launch, quit, or switch focus – or when your Mac wakes up or goes to sleep. Commands appear when you need them.

*All commands shown for demo. Hide any you don't need (such as shortcut-only or automatic actions) to keep your menu minimal.

Dynamic Content

See what's actually happening on your Mac.

Dynamic Content

Run scripts and show their output, see what's playing in Music/Spotify, monitor your Downloads folder, and view running applications – all from Sudare's menu.

Actions

Start your whole workflow with one command.

Actions

Send keyboard shortcuts, simulate clicks, control volume and brightness, open files, add delays, and more. Chain multiple actions into sequences – open your dev environment or dim lights and lock your Mac with one command.

Script Runner

Run any script directly.

Script Runner

Run shell scripts and AppleScript with custom arguments. Place them in Sudare's scripts directory.

Visual Customization

Customize every icon and color.

Visual Customization

Choose custom icons and colors for your commands. Organize with folders, headers, and spacers. Create hidden shortcut-only columns for advanced workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sudare?

Sudare is a macOS application I started writing back in 2018 during macOS Mojave (macOS 10.14) to combine the utilities I needed and build the app I wanted. For years it was just my personal tool, but I decided to release it.

What permissions does Sudare need?

Sudare requires permission to automate keyboard and mouse actions and display current media playback information. All permissions are requested only when needed.

Can I create app-specific commands?

Yes! Sudare allows you to create commands that are only available when specific applications are active. This lets you tailor commands to each app.

How do I run my own scripts?

Place your shell scripts or AppleScript files in Sudare's Application Scripts directory (accessible via Settings). Scripts must include a shebang line (#!/bin/bash, etc.). You can then trigger them via commands with custom arguments.
