WHAT MAKES CHARMSTONE SO GREAT

How many times do you change which app has focus in a day? Before building this,
I used to use a combination of cmd+tab, Spotlight, and good old-fashioned window
or dock clicking to switch and launch apps. I didn't think there was a problem
there to solve, but it turns out that all of this added up to a significant
amount of mental friction. All the other solutions I found required a lot of
memorization, muscle memory, and customization to overcome this friction.

With Charmstone, all of that memorization, muscle memory and customization
overhead is miniscule; you can skip straight to efficiency. There's a
memorization technique called the memory palace where your brain can rapidly
recollect where something was placed. Combine that with only having to remember
one or two modifier keys instead of a whole slew of keyboard shortcuts, and you
have something brilliantly fast with practically no learning curve.

You can use the modifier+cursor movement, modifier+arrow keys, or a highly
optimized trackpad gesture that is simple to perform but not so easy to
accidentally trigger.

Access your apps like a CPU accessing a cache rather than going all the way out
to RAM or disk.

The full version of the app can be unlocked by purchase from within the app, and
it won't nag you to purchase.
It can also be purchased outside of the Mac App Store for US$9.99.



Supports macOS 10.14+, Intel and Apple Silicon
