How it works

You type. Clyde figures out the rest.

01

Type anything

A name, a date, a URL, a math expression. Clyde parses your input in real time and matches it to the right command.

02

Clyde resolves

Intent is extracted, entities are identified, and the correct receiver is selected. No menus, no disambiguation.

03

Action fires

Calendar event created. Message sent. Reminder set. The result appears inline and Clyde gets out of your way.

Use cases

Real workflows, not feature demos.

01

Morning routine

"standup" to log yesterday's wins. "calendar" to see today's meetings. "plan" to set your top 3. All before your coffee gets cold.

02

Mid-flow context switch

A Slack message says "call me." Type the number, tap call. Paste a URL, hit enter. Clyde parses it and acts. No app switching.

03

End of day wind-down

"gratitude" to reflect. "review" on Fridays. "money" to check spending. Structured journaling without opening a single app.

04

Launch any app or site

Install the Spotify user command and type "spotify." Or drop in your own JSON for Figma, Linear, Notion—any URL or deep link.

05

Quick math on the fly

Type "(1200 * 1.08) / 12" and get the answer inline. No calculator app, no Spotlight lag. Just type and see.

06

Clipboard time machine

"clipboard" to browse everything you've copied. Search for that URL from an hour ago. Re-copy or paste directly.

07

Kill a stuck process

Install the kill-port user script. Type "kill 3000" and your dev server is freed. scriptReceiver shows the result inline.

08

Git commit and push

The git-commit-push user script stages, commits, and pushes in one command. Type it, confirm, done.

09

Message without context switching

"message Sam: running 5 min late" sends an iMessage without opening Messages.app. Stay in your editor.

10

Weather check in 2 seconds

"weather" for current conditions. "weather tomorrow" for the forecast. No app, no website, no location popup.

11

Ask AI from anywhere

"ask claude review this architecture" opens Claude with your query pre-filled. Same for ChatGPT or Perplexity.

12

Build your own command

Write a JSON file with a name, keywords, and a target. Drop it in ~/.clyde/user-commands/. It's live in seconds.

Why this isn't just another launcher

intent dispatcher

Launchers open apps. Clyde understands what you want to do and does it.

Intent, not search

Clyde doesn't search your Mac. It understands what you want to do and routes to the right tool.

No plugins to install

Every command ships with the app. No marketplace, no dependencies, no compatibility issues.

Local-first privacy

Journal entries, notes, bookmarks, and clipboard history stay on your Mac as plain JSON files.

Natural language input

"meet with Sam tomorrow at 3pm" creates a calendar event. "remind me to call mom in 2 hours" sets a reminder.

One keystroke away

Set a global hotkey. Every command is reachable from anywhere on your Mac without touching the dock.

Extensible by design

Drop a JSON file into ~/.clyde/ and you have a new command. Shell scripts, AppleScript, Shortcuts, deep links.

Every command. One keystroke.

Set your global hotkey and everything on this page is reachable from anywhere on your Mac.
