What Jolt can do

Anything on your Mac. One command away.

Press Tab to search the app in front, your whole Mac, or your files.

02

Ask your Mac

Describe what you need—or what is wrong. Jolt finds the right app, System Setting, or Mac action.

  • my disk is fullStorage
  • why is my fan so loudActivity Monitor
Demo coming soon
03

Jump straight to any setting

Jolt opens the right pane, scrolls to the setting, and highlights it. It works in System Settings and inside supported apps.

  • change the line spacingXcode › Settings › Themes › Line Spacing
Demo coming soon
04

Find any file—even when you forgot its name

Search by name, type, date, or meaning. Ask for “my resume” or “PDFs downloaded yesterday,” and Jolt finds the right files. File contents never leave your Mac.

  • my resumeCV_2026.pdf
  • all my moviesThe films, without the screen recordings
Demo coming soon
05

Search any site

Say what you want and where to search. Jolt separates the site from the query and opens the results in your browser. Bangs work too.

  • watch the new dune trailerSearch YouTube · the new dune trailer
  • alan turing !wSearch Wikipedia · alan turing
Demo coming soon
06

Say the value. Jolt gets it.

Use natural values for actions: a duration, a volume, or a delay. Jolt understands the details without making you fill out another form.

  • keep awake for 35 minutesKeep Awake · For 35 minutes
  • volume 20Set Volume · 20%
  • screenshot window in 5sScreenshot Window to Clipboard · In 5 seconds
Demo coming soon
07

Control your apps in plain language

Jolt discovers what your scriptable apps can do and makes those actions searchable. Destructive actions that delete, reset, or quit are never offered.

  • spotify nextSpotify: Next Track
  • dark mode onSystem: Dark Mode of Appearance Preferences · Turn on
  • make the dock hide itselfSystem: Autohide of Dock Preferences

Made for the Mac

Built for everyday Mac work

A native panel that opens at once, over any app, and stays out of your way.

Three ways in

Press [, Option-Space, or Control-Option-J. Jolt opens over any app.

Learns what you run

Jolt counts what you run. An empty query lists your most used commands.

Teaches you the shortcut

Each menu row shows its path and its keyboard shortcut.

Updates itself

Jolt checks for a new version once a day.

Takes the color of your app

The panel tints itself from the icon of the app in front.

Files without leaving the panel

Preview, open, copy, or drag a file straight from the results.

Why Jolt

Most commands have no keyboard shortcut.

Simulator has 99 without one. Safari has 114. Xcode has 66. Stop hunting through menus—describe what you want and let Jolt find it.

Privacy

Clear about what leaves your Mac.

  • Jolt reads the names of menu items in the app in front.macOS asks you to allow this under Accessibility.
  • Your query and those menu names go to Jev through the Jolt backend.Jev is a model from TypeSafe. It gets the query and a list of names. It gets no file contents, no values, and no state of your apps.
  • You choose the folders Jolt can search. Jolt never asks for Full Disk Access.Add and remove folders under Settings → Privacy. Jev sees filenames and folder names only, and only when you turn on “Find files with Jev”.
  • The private names in your menus stay on your Mac.Recent documents, browser tabs, bookmarks, history, and open windows are found by name on your Mac. They are not sent to Jev. The switch is under Settings → Privacy.
  • Jev chooses a command. Ordinary code runs it.No agent runs on your Mac. Jolt does not read your screen or write your queries to disk.

Your Mac already knows how. Just ask.
