Homerow is a macOS application that provides keyboard navigation for the entire operating system, letting users click buttons, links, and UI elements and scroll using keyboard shortcuts instead of a mouse. It overlays searchable labels on UI elements via the macOS accessibility API, inspired by Vimium and Vimperator.
Use cases
- click buttons on macos without a mouse
- keyboard navigation for mac apps
- vimium-style hints for the whole desktop
- scroll web pages with hjkl keys
- avoid using trackpad for clicking
- keyboard-only workflow on mac
When to choose
- you want mouse-free clicking and scrolling across all macOS apps
- you are a Vimium/Vimperator fan wanting system-wide keyboard hints
- you prefer keyboard-centric interaction and accessibility tooling
When to avoid
- you are not on macOS 12.3 or later
- you need an open-source tool (the app is a paid closed-source product despite the public repo)
- you mainly need browser-only keyboard hints (a browser extension like Vimium suffices)
