sol VS hammerspoon

Sol open source alternative

yes, via react-native-macos you can make your existing react-native apps work on macos as native desktop apps - or just build a new desktop app directly with it, such as https://github.com/ospfranco/sol

Another one https://github.com/ospfranco/sol. For both of them, success hinges on plugins and a nice, native UI.

Sol is nice and then again it seems young and a bit lacking.

File search https://github.com/ospfranco/sol/issues/45 or opening files / apps in finder is not yet possible.

Did not understand how to alter search engine.

Window manager does not allow to use screen quarters.

Clearly this has huge potential. Maybe more developers will join the effort.

Have a look at Raycast (https://www.raycast.com) or the new & open source Sol (https://github.com/ospfranco/sol) both available through Homebrew.

Another option for hacking something like this together could be HammerSpoon. I’ve spent some time with it, but haven’t tried integrating with Apple Notes, I mostly did stuff at the file system level to keep it easy.

For basic window tiling, I stumbled across Hammerspoon and the MiroWindowsManager spoon.

I use hammerspoon a lot and it seemed like scheduling SelfControl could be done using it so I created Hammer Control. Check it out!

Hammerspoon - Price: Free Desktop automation tool for macOS that allows you to write Lua scripts to control your Mac.

Assuming no one has a cut-and-dried solution that just works, would something like this be possible with say, AppleScript or another scripting tool like Hammerspoon? I've not used either of these tools before, but would be open to seeking out a scripting solution on my own if it's viable. Or am I going to run into insurmountable security restrictions?

Spark (not the email app). There are others like Hotkey and Hammerspoon.

I have tried different tools for this including Rectangle, but I've finally settled with hammerspoon. It solves the problem of window-management but you can also use it to create custom keyboard shortcuts and much more.
