Ideas for Mac: Menu Bar, ⌥Space and Keyboard Shortcuts
Publicado em 25 de set. de 2026 · 2 min de leitura
Por enquanto, os guias estão disponíveis apenas em inglês.
Ideas for Mac is a native app built for the keyboard. You can read, triage and dig into the day's ideas without touching the mouse — or even leaving the app you're working in. It requires macOS 14 or later.
The menu bar and ⌥Space
Ideas lives in your menu bar. Click the icon to open a compact panel with today's idea, or press ⌥Space (Option + Space) anywhere to bring the panel up over whatever you're doing. Press it again to dismiss it.
The panel is meant for quick moments: read one idea, like or save it, move on.
Moving through the feed
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| J, ↓ or Space | Next idea |
| K or ↑ | Previous idea |
| ⌘J / ⌘K | Next / previous idea from anywhere in the window |
Acting on an idea
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| L | Like |
| S | Save to your library |
| 1 – 5 | Rate the idea from 1 to 5 stars |
| Return | Dig deeper — create a deep-dive report |
| P | Create a landing page |
Reports and landing pages cost credits, so the app always asks you to confirm first. Liking, saving and rating are free and work without an account — see how the feed works.
