Manico

Manico is a fast app launch and switch tool designed for macOS.

If you are a person who would like to use keyboard to make effective use of operating system, Manico will help you maximize your efficiency.

What is Manico?

Manico is a tool designed to launch and switch apps quickly. By using it, launching and switching apps on macOS will be incredibly smooth.

By default, Manico supports Option + number keys to launch or switch to the corresponding app, so users no longer need to use Command+Tab to traverse to the desired app one by one or find on the Dock, which brings efficiency and experience improvement.

In the process of long-term use, users will also develop muscle memory, and thus become more and more efficient in the use of macOS.

Manico supports three modes to facilitate users' needs in various scenarios.

Dock mode: mapping the apps on macOS's Dock for launching and switching.
Switcher mode: mapping the currently opened apps to switch.
Custom mode: fully customize the apps you want to launch and switch, including customizing different shortcut keys.

In addition to the three basic modes, Manico supports a rich set of preference features, including:

Customized appearance
The launch bar position
Whether to show the status bar icon or not
"Silent Mode" to be invisible and non-intrusive on certain apps

Manico also comes with a "Usage" feature, which allows users to see how many times they call the app each day with a graph to get a clear picture of their usage.

We hope that Manico will live on your Mac and provide you with a smooth and efficient experience!

FAQ

Can I customize the hot key?

Absolutely! Manico uses the Option + Number combine key by default, but you are also allowed to set any other combine key.

How can I use the default Option feature?

The original Option+Number combine key will output the characters like: ™, £. If you need to input these character, you can change the Activate Key, or enable the "Double press the hotkey to disable or enable Manico temporarily" in Preferences - Advanced.

I have a Manico 1.x license, how can I use it with Manico 3?

If you have a Manico 1.x license, you can redeem it for a 3.0 license here.

Manico keeps quitting unexpectedly while using macOS

If Manico quits unexpectedly, try the following:
1. Ensure your Mac has sufficient free memory and disk space; low resources are the most common cause.
2. Under heavy memory pressure, macOS may terminate apps without a key window or visible menu bar icon.
3. If you've hidden Manico's menu bar icon, unhide it so the system treats it as active.
4. Free some memory or disk space, then relaunch Manico.
