Small by design

One simple action.
Quietly out of the way.

No menu to find, no extra launcher to open. CmdFlick gives your Mac’s Spotlight one more familiar way to show up.

  • A natural gesture. Use either Command key. Keep both taps on the same side.
  • Your shortcuts stay yours. Shortcuts, long presses, and other input cancel the gesture.
  • A clear desktop. No persistent window, Dock icon, or menu bar item during everyday use.

A simple start

Three steps. Then it’s a habit.

  1. 01

    Open CmdFlick

    Open the native control window. The feature starts off on first use. The Dock icon stays visible during setup.

  2. 02

    Allow Input Monitoring

    Allow Input Monitoring in the first section. Once authorized, that section disappears. Reopen the app if macOS asks you to.

  3. 03

    Switch on. Tap twice.

    Turn on Enable double-Command, then tap twice. With the switch on, Close hides the window and Dock icon while the feature keeps running in the background.
