4 use cases

  • Run Mac actions by voice without a screenshot

    Hold a shortcut, say a command, and Jev performs the matching action in the front app.

    View prompt
    Using the jev-use repo on this Mac, run `scripts/say.sh "<command>"` with the command text in place of <command>, for example "Open Finder". Expect the app to perform the action and report DONE, BLOCKED or WAIT. Verify by running `log show --predicate 'subsystem == "local.jev-use"' --last 10m --info` and confirming the logged result matches the expected action.

  • Control the Mac hands-free with a wake phrase

    Enable the "Hey Jev" wake phrase so commands start by voice with no widget click.

    View prompt
    On this Mac, use the jev-use app with the wake phrase enabled in Settings, then say "Hey Jev, <command>" with the command in place of <command>. Expect the widget to appear and the command to run, then listening to return to background wake-word mode. Verify the outcome on screen and confirm the wake phrase is still active in Settings.

  • Tile windows or repeat a task in every window

    Give one command that arranges windows or runs the same steps in each open window.

    View prompt
    Using jev-use on this Mac, run `scripts/say.sh "<command>"` where <command> is a window task for the app <app>, such as tiling its windows. Expect the windows to be arranged or the task repeated in each window, with the result reported as DONE, BLOCKED or WAIT. Verify by checking every window on screen and reading the log with `log show --predicate 'subsystem == "local.jev-use"' --last 10m --info`.

  • Let a coding agent drive the Mac from a shell command

    Call scripts/say.sh so an agent can open apps and use menus on the Mac.

    View prompt
    In the jev-use repo on this Mac, run `scripts/say.sh "<command>"` where <command> is the desktop action to perform, such as "Open Finder". Expect the Mac to perform the action and the app to report DONE, BLOCKED or WAIT. Verify by running the log command above and confirming the logged effect matches the requested action.
