I made Homerow, it's the same idea as Vimium, but for the entire macOS user interface.

This looks very similar to shortcat https://shortcat.app/, can you tell me what your program offers that the other one (free, but also not OS) does not?

On an unrelated note, I made the same thing (barebones), but for Linux and theoretically also Windows: https://github.com/phil294/vimium-everywhere

Major differences are that (1) Homerow does not show search results in a command palette fashion. YMMV but I prefer the UI to be minimalist. (2) you can disable search and have it work almost exactly like Vimium.

I would also like to note that the Shortcat dev plans on adding licensing. Homerow has licensing, but there's no blocks on features. So they are both "free" in the same way.

Oh, How I wish this for pesky Windows 11!
Check out win-vind! It also comes with a tiling window manager but I've never used that.
