⌥ SpaceSearch

⌥ TabSwitch

⌘ KActions

Find any repo. In three letters.

Every trip through Finder is a broken thought. Every dock-bounce is a thread lost. Hit ⌥ Space, type three letters, land in the right repo — your focus stays on the problem, not on hunting for the folder.

No syntax to remember"wba" finds web-app. "adak" finds odak. Typos forgiven.
Frecency, not alphabeticalRecent + frequent rises to the top. The repos you live in hit on the first letter.
Dirty-state badgesA red dot on repos with uncommitted work — never lose track of what you started.

⌘ KActions

Every editor window. One list.

Cmd+Tab groups by app — useless when ten Cursor windows share one icon. Odak shows every window as a labelled row, grouped by project, most-recent first.

One list, not sixCursor, VS Code, Xcode, IntelliJ, GoLand, RubyMine, Zed, Sublime, terminals, and Chrome tabs tied to a localhost preview — all in one place.
Most recent, firstThe window you just left sits at the top — the keystroke you reach for is always the right one.
Event-driven, not polledWired into the macOS Accessibility API. No CPU spin, no lag — opens instantly.

⌘ KActions

One actions library, every project.

Define your shortcuts once in ~/.odak/config.yaml. Drop an .odak file in any repo to pin its IDE and variables. Odak applies the right action to the right project — automatically.

Pin an editor per-repoDrop "ide": "Xcode" in .odak and that repo always opens in Xcode — even when you live in Cursor.
Variables that travelDeclare STAGING_URL in .odak once. Reference it from any global action — same shortcut, repo-specific result.
Conditional by filefileExists: Package.swift means "Open in Xcode" only shows for Swift repos. The palette stays relevant, not bloated.

⇥Editor

Pick the editor without leaving the palette.

Same repo, three editors open — Cursor for code, VS Code for review, IntelliJ for refactors. Type to land on the project, then ⇥ to flip through the editors that already have it open. ↵ focuses the one you picked.

Tab cycles open editorsThe IDE icon in the search bar shows where ↵ will land. ⇥ flips through the others without re-typing.
Already-open glowEditors holding this repo light up. The ones that aren't running take a launch — same shortcut, different cost, you decide.

Why not just use Raycast?

Three tools, three jobs. Odak knows what a project is — which makes the difference.

Swiss-army launcher

Raycast

Fires anything. Calculator, clipboard, snippets, emoji, extensions, AI. Powerful. General-purpose.

Knows apps

Knows commands

Doesn't know what a repo is

Project switcher

Odak

One tool. It knows your repos, which editors have them open, and what each project wants you to do next.

Knows your projects

Knows which editor has them

Per-project actions

Window switcher

AltTab

Every window in the OS, in a flat list. Great at what it does. Has no idea two Cursor windows are the same repo.

Knows windows

Doesn't group by project

Can't open what isn't open

FAQ

Quick answers.

Things people ask before they hit the trial button.

Will this run on my Mac?

macOS 26 Tahoe or later, on Apple Silicon and Intel. The Liquid Glass UI relies on macOS 26 APIs that don't backport to older systems.

I already use Raycast — why this?

Raycast knows apps and commands, not repos. Spotlight indexes everything, which means it indexes nothing well. Odak only knows projects — it sees which editors have them open and what each repo wants you to do next.

Which editors does it support?

Cursor, VS Code, IntelliJ IDEA, GoLand out of the box. Xcode and any other editor via a one-line bundle ID in Settings. Terminals and Chrome localhost tabs are tracked too.

What goes in `.odak` vs `~/.odak/config.yaml`?

The .odak file in your repo root is small — just the IDE to use and any per-project variables. Your custom actions live globally in ~/.odak/config.yaml so you write them once and they apply everywhere. Conditional fields (e.g. fileExists: Package.swift) keep the palette relevant per repo.

Where does Odak store data?

Locally. Project list, history, and settings live in ~/.odak. Nothing leaves your machine — no telemetry, no analytics, no cloud sync.

What happens after the 14-day trial?

The trial unlocks every feature. After 14 days, you choose: $15 once, or stop using it. No card up front, no cancellation flow.

Refunds?

30 days, no questions. Email [email protected].
