Keyline

Launch apps, expand snippets and run AI on selected text from the keyboard.

Keyline opens on ⌥Space and finds apps, files, calculations, currency rates and system commands. Type an abbreviation in any app and it expands into a snippet with fill-in fields and date math. Workflows chain 15 step types, and ⌥⌘A runs AI on the text you have selected, with Claude, an OpenAI-compatible API or a local model.

What it does

  • A launcher that learns your apps

    Fuzzy matching understands acronyms and ranks apps by how often you open them. The same field converts units and currencies, using ECB reference rates cached for 12 hours.

  • Snippets with fill-in fields and date math

    Type ;sig in any app and your signature appears. Snippets can ask for fields, calculate dates, nest other snippets, place the cursor and apply only in chosen apps.

  • Clipboard history with 29 transforms

    Keyline keeps copied text, images and files, and you can pin the ones you reuse. Items a password manager marks as concealed or transient are never recorded.

  • Workflows you can describe in words

    Chain URLs, apps, shell commands, AppleScript, AI and window layouts, then run them by keyword, hotkey or deep link. Describe an automation in plain words and Keyline writes the steps.

  • AI on selected text in any app

    Select text, press ⌥⌘A and pick one of 15 AI actions. With a local model, nothing leaves your Mac.

  • Text capture from the screen

    Keyline reads text from any part of the screen with OCR. Recognition runs on the Mac through Apple's Vision framework.

Good to know

  • Text expansion needs the Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions. Without Accessibility, results are copied to the clipboard instead of pasted.
  • Expansion pauses in secure input fields such as password boxes.

System requirements

  • macOS 14 or later
  • Mac with Apple silicon
  • Your own API key for Claude or an OpenAI-compatible service, or a local model server, for the AI features
  • An internet connection for currency rates and cloud AI
