What you get

Find and run app commands without hunting through menus.

With Paletro, you can find the command you need without opening menus one by one. Press Command-Shift-P in the app you’re using, type a keyword or browse the available commands, then press Enter to run your selection. You can keep working from the keyboard even when you don’t remember where an action lives.

When you’re learning an unfamiliar app, you can explore its menu commands and see their keyboard shortcuts in one place. That helps you discover available actions and learn the key combinations for tasks you repeat.

You can choose a different shortcut to open Paletro and enable it only in the apps where you want it. If you use non-English interfaces, you can search commands in the app’s language, with Latin-character transliteration supported for select languages.

  • Spend less time searching

    You can find menu commands by keyword instead of checking menus individually.

  • Keep your hands typing

    You can open the command list, find an action, and run it with Enter.

  • Learn unfamiliar apps

    You can browse available menu commands to discover what an app lets you do.

  • Remember useful shortcuts

    You can see commands alongside their key combinations and learn shortcuts for repeated tasks.

Best for

  • You’re learning an app with unfamiliar menus
  • You prefer using the keyboard to run commands
  • You switch between apps with different shortcuts

Skip it if

You probably don’t need it if you already find menu commands easily and know the shortcuts you use.
