## About

Wield is a native keyboard launcher and command utility for Mac. Tap a modifier, type a short trigger, and run commands without pressing Return. It can launch apps, arrange windows, and search for files by name or path, with options to preview, open, or reveal results in Finder.

Wield Studio provides a local-first workspace for editing aliases and triggers, choosing the modifier, and configuring File and Clipboard tools. Automatic and custom triggers, editable commands, and Default or Compact display modes make it suited to keyboard-focused Mac users. It is available as a free public beta.
