About
Knot is a focused native Mac utility that brings search, commands, menu-bar organization, window management, clipboard history, screenshots, OCR, and Quicklinks into one lightweight entry point. It is local-first, has no account system, and asks for system permissions only when a feature needs them.
Features
Fast global search for apps, commands, files, and Quicklinks
Menu-bar organization with a simple collapsible hidden section
Keyboard-driven window layouts with configurable shortcuts
Encrypted local clipboard history for text and images
Screenshots, in-place annotation, and on-device OCR
Configurable global shortcuts, including Command-Shift-V for clipboard history
Troubleshooting
Window commands need Accessibility permission. Capture and OCR need Screen Recording permission. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, grant the requested permission to Knot, then run the command again.
