How it works

one click. everything opens.

A Cue is a saved activity, like “Study linear algebra” or “Work on Atlas”: everything it needs, in order.

An AI-proposed Cue ready to review

01 · DESCRIBE IT

Say what you want to do.

Your own AI proposes the Cue with apps you actually have. Or build it by hand: AI is never required.

A Cue’s page with its Start button

02 · START IT

One click, or ⌘1.

Links, apps, files and folders open in order. Starting a Cue never uses AI, so it works the same every time.

Choosing where windows go on a desktop

03 · ARRANGE IT

Windows land where you want.

Full screen on its own desktop, side by side, quarters or thirds, with a Mission Control-style preview.

Claude & ChatGPT

or just ask claude.

Cue Space includes an MCP server. Connect Claude Desktop in one click, or Claude Code and ChatGPT, and build Cues by chatting. It finds your real apps and folders, and only starts a Cue when you ask.

The details

small things, big time saved.

Everything stays on your Mac: no account, no cloud. Your Cues are plain files you own.

Newest file

Open your latest download.

Point at a folder and Cue Space opens the most recent file in it, optionally only PDFs.

Commands

Type, don’t click.

/add figma, ~/Notes, /off localhost, /start atlas. Most run without any AI.

Shortcuts

⌘1–⌘9 and a widget.

Start your favorite Cues from the keyboard, the menu bar or your desktop.

Home

Arrange it like widgets.

Pin, reorder and resize sections; see what you used recently. Light or dark.

Languages

English et français.

The whole app, its menus and its AI proposals follow your language.

Your AI

Bring your own, or none.

Gemini’s free tier, Anthropic, OpenAI-compatible or a local model. Keys stay in your Keychain.
