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
