I have always wanted to write a macOS tool to practice, and recently I finally finished it with the help of AI. Especially the recently released google gemini 2.5 helped me solve a long-standing problem. I highly recommend it.

Anonymous1700 Apr 24, 2025Just experienced it, small problem. The default shortcut key of ⌘ X seems to be a bit difficult to use, so I changed it to ^ F, but after changing it, I found that the menu opened by the small icon in the menu bar still displays ⌘ X. When adding accessibility permissions, the settings window opened but Cactus was not seen, so I added it manually.

Poster Apr 24, 2025@ Anonymous6947 has just adapted to macOS13.6 and is being reviewed by Apple. Don't know which version you are, hopefully it can be solved.

Poster Apr 24, 2025@ Anonymous2932 just adapted to macOS13.6, waiting for review. Let's not consider the old version for now. I'm afraid I can't solve it, or the solution is too complicated.

Anonymous13810 Apr 24, 2025Does @ Poster only translate English? I just selected a Japanese paragraph and it will only be translated into English

Poster Apr 24, 2025@ Anonymous13810 is currently a Chinese-English translation. In the next version, I will debug the translation of other languages. You can wait, don't uninstall haha

Poster May 6, 2025@ Anonymous13810 solved this problem, because the new version is still stuck in Apple's review, and the website provides a dmg installation package for everyone to download and test 🙏: https://cactusai.cc/
