Nifty: Add Custom Global App Specific Buttons On Mac [Paid]

Keyboard shortcuts make it easy to use apps, but sometimes, it’s hard just to remember what shortcuts you’ve set. Often, the same shortcut does different things in different apps and that complicates things further. What’s needed is a universal system for managing these functions, possibly an app wearing a golden ring with something like ‘One shortcut app to rule them all’ engraved on it. Nifty is a Mac app, available for $4.99 in the Mac App Store, that adds a dynamic toolbar on your desktop. The buttons on this toolbar change as different apps are active. The toolbar shows all open windows of a particular app, and lets you add buttons of your choice. These buttons can be app specific; they will appear only when that particular app is active, or they can be global; they will appear regardless of which app is active. Read More
