NovaKey
NovaKey is a keyboard-first macOS productivity app that combines instant app launching, window control, and workspace switching in one native desktop experience.
Bind apps or URLs to custom shortcuts, bring windows forward, spawn fresh instances, auto-tile every display, and move between saved workspaces without leaving home row. When your setup is dialed in, export the whole thing and carry it to another Mac in seconds.
