Vimac is a macOS productivity application that enables keyboard-driven navigation and control of the macOS GUI, inspired by Vimium. It provides Hint-mode for clicking UI elements and Scroll-mode for scrolling windows without a mouse.
Use cases
- control macOS entirely with the keyboard
- click buttons and links without a mouse
- scroll windows using HJKL keys
- reduce reliance on trackpad or mouse
- navigate macOS apps vim-style
When to choose
- you want a free, open-source keyboard navigation tool for macOS
- you like Vimium but want system-wide macOS control
- you want to inspect or contribute to the codebase
When to avoid
- you want an actively developed tool - use its successor Homerow instead
- you need Windows or Linux support
- you dislike granting Accessibility permissions to apps
