PRODUCT STUDIOFootman
A keyboard launcher for the Mac.
A footman opens the door, carries the thing, and does not make conversation about it. This one sits behind a hotkey, launches apps, finds files, keeps your clipboard, and runs the Alfred workflows you already wrote.

What it does
One window, most of your Mac
- Launch and find. Apps, files, System Settings panes, bookmarks, open browser tabs, and the menu bar of the app in front.
- Clipboard history. Text, images and files, searchable, kept as long as you like. Anything an app flags as a password is not written down at all.
- Your Alfred workflows. The actual bundles, unmodified. The first time a workflow would run a script, Footman shows you the script and waits. Nothing runs on import.
- Windows. Halves, thirds, quarters, maximize, center and the next display, with Snap Back to put a window where it was.
- Snippets, math and conversions. Type a snippet’s name and Return puts it on the clipboard. Arithmetic as you type, and units across length, mass, volume, temperature, data and time.
- Act on the selection.
Select text in any app and type
selfor transforms like title case, sorting lines and counting words. Add your own AI key and more appear.
Why it exists
Bought once, kept as long as you like
Footman is one purchase: no subscription, no account and no telemetry, and it works with the network off. The free version does not expire. A license adds the clipboard, snippets, windows, folder sync and Alfred workflows.
AI stays out of the way until you add a key of your own, from Anthropic, OpenAI or Google, or point it at a model running on your Mac.
