Including “SELECT for macOS feedback” in the subject line helps us respond faster.
Q. There are too many menu-bar icons / they get in the way A. Each tab’s menu-bar visibility can be toggled individually in Settings → Menu Bar (per-tab toggles). The SELECT app icon (♻) always stays — turning off unnecessary tabs makes things tidier.
Q. Can I make the menu-bar icons simpler? A. Yes — pick Simple icon in Settings → Menu Bar → Label display. The phone / brain glyphs drop out, leaving just the arrow + a capsule outline. The setting is per mode, so switching modes also switches the style automatically.
Q. How do I show / hide the floating bar?
A. The default global hotkey cmd + shift + 0 toggles it. You can also toggle “Show at launch” in Settings → Floating Bar to control its launch-time state. While visible, the menu-bar ♻ icon’s dropdown menu has a toggle as well.
Q. The floating bar disappears behind other windows A. Click the pin button (📌) on the right end of the floating bar to enable Always on Top. When pinned off, the bar behaves like a normal window and falls behind other apps.
Q. Can I move the floating bar? A. Drag it anywhere on the screen — the position auto-saves after 0.2 seconds and is restored on the next launch. If an external display is disconnected and the bar would land off-screen, it snaps back to the top-left of the main display.
Q. How do I change the global hotkey?
A. In Settings → Floating Bar → Hotkey, type a new combination in the format <modifier>+...+<key> (e.g., cmd+ctrl+space). Allowed keys: cmd / shift / ctrl / opt + 0–9 / a–z / space / return / tab / esc. The change takes effect immediately. The hotkey is global across modes (app-wide).
Q. The global hotkey doesn’t work
A. Another app may have already registered the same combination at the OS level. Try a different combination. The default cmd+shift+0 was chosen to avoid colliding with common combos like cmd+shift+s (Save As).
Q. Finder / Mail / built-in apps won’t launch
A. As of v1.x, these launch via the path-type item. In the item editor, check that “App path” is correctly populated (e.g., /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app).
Q. How do I hide the Dock icon? A. Turn off Settings → Window → Show in Dock. When off, SELECT is also removed from the Cmd+Tab switcher and runs as a menu-bar + floating-bar only background process.
Q. Can SELECT launch automatically at login? A. Yes — toggle Settings → Window → Launch at login. SELECT is then registered in your macOS Login Items.
Q. How do I add another mode (profile)? A. Use the Add button at the top of the sidebar. There is no IAP gating on the Mac version — modes are unlimited. When you create a new mode, the settings of the currently-active mode (menu-bar / floating-bar styles, per-tab visibility) are automatically copied so you don’t start from scratch.
Q. How do I rename or change a mode’s icon? A. The Edit button at the top of the sidebar opens a sheet for renaming and picking an SF Symbol icon. The Built-in mode (the initial default) can also be edited; only deletion is restricted.
Q. Why are menu-bar and floating-bar settings stored per mode? A. That’s intentional — different modes are for different situations, so the display style (simple vs. default icons) and the set of visible tabs are scoped per mode. The hotkey and the floating-bar position / pin state remain app-global.
Q. Is iCloud sync required? A. No — if you’re not signed in to iCloud, SELECT operates locally only. When signed in, syncing happens automatically. Synced data is stored in your own CloudKit Private Database; the developer and third parties have no access.
Q. How do I migrate data to another Mac? A. The simplest path is iCloud sync (automatic if you’re signed in with the same Apple ID on both Macs). For manual migration, use Settings → Support → Export to JSON on the source Mac and Import from JSON on the destination.
Q. What happens to existing data when I import JSON? A. Import uses UUID-based upsert. Items / modes with the same UUID are overwritten; new UUIDs are added. If you want a clean replace, delete local data first, then import.
Q. The app I want isn’t showing up in search
A. SELECT uses Apple’s iTunes Search API. Check that Settings → Language & Region → Country code matches the App Store storefront where the app is published (e.g., jp for Japan, us for the United States).
Q. How do I delete an item? A. Right-click an item row and choose Delete, or enter edit mode, select items, and delete them in bulk.
Q. Can I move or copy items between tabs / modes? A. Enter edit mode, select items, then tap Move or Copy to open a destination picker. Drag-and-drop into folders is also supported.
Q. How do I completely delete my data? A. Three steps for a full wipe:
com.artemis.select.mac under Finder → Go → Go to Library → ContainersQ. How do I change the app’s language? A. Settings → Language → 日本語 / English. The change applies after restarting the app. This is a per-app setting and is independent from your macOS system language.
Q. The “Hotkey” text field stays focused inside Settings A. Fixed in v1.x. Please reopen the Settings window. If the issue reproduces, please get in touch.
