Desktop shortcuts
Running outside a browser frees up the shortcuts that the browser would otherwise capture.
Shortcuts shown with macOS keys; on Windows substitute Ctrl for Cmd.
| Browser | Desktop |
|---|---|
| Cmd+W closes the browser tab | Cmd+W closes the query tab, not the app |
| Cmd+T opens a browser tab | Cmd+T opens a new query tab |
| Cmd+L focuses the URL bar | Cmd+L is available for app actions |
| Cmd+Shift+T reopens a browser tab | Cmd+Shift+T reopens the last closed query |
Window
- Appears in the Dock (macOS) or taskbar (Windows) with its own icon
- Switch to it with Cmd+Tab on macOS or Alt+Tab on Windows
- Launch from Spotlight on macOS or the Start menu on Windows
- Full-screen mode with native window controls
Updates
The desktop app checks for updates on launch. When a new version is available:
- A notification appears with the changelog
- Click "Update" to download and install
- The app restarts on the new version
Updates are code-signed (notarized on macOS).
