Homerow

What it is for

Homerow is a macOS click-any-UI desk: you type a label over dexterleng/homerow on GitHub (AH search, DM Code, JS README) and the license is US$49.99 one-time. Use it when the job is keyboard-click you start at a public $, not when you need Raycast’s launcher first.

Soft-note: US$49.99 one-time (“Use on all your Macs forever”; student discount mentioned) — homerow.app. Free trial with a buy nudge. Distinct from Raycast, Alfred, and Karabiner-Elements.

What makes it unique: the cover is a frame from Homerow’s official non-search demo (AH / DM / JS / ⌘F labels over github.com/dexterleng/homerow) — not the og-main logo. The AH search label itself is ops of the overlay.

Key features

• Hint labels — AA–AK / AH search / DM Code (cover still; product). One desk. Cover AH sits here.
• Repo chrome — dexterleng/homerow Issues 255 on the cover (cover). A page, not a $49.99 meter.
• Click-any-control — JS README / FG avatar (cover). A click, not Get started.
• Search jump — AH on GitHub’s search field (cover). A jump, not Enterprise.
• Works across apps — browsers, VS Code, Slack, Finder (supported-apps on the homepage). A layer, not a remapper tile.
• Accessibility overlay — needs Accessibility (product). A permission, not SSO.

Download / Buy are CTAs (not desks). US$49.99 stays in Pricing. There is no AI extra to drop.

Who it's for

Best fit: Mac users who will finish the trial then buy US$49.99 to label-click a first GitHub control — not Raycast Pro $10 first unless they want a launcher, and not if they need Windows.
