Profiles and templates

  1. 01

    Open Edit

    Choose Edit mode in the console. Select a saved profile or open the template library to add one.

  2. 02

    Add from the library

    Search by app, preview its verified actions, and add the template. Pinned Essentials stays a single shared profile.

    Refine context rules

    Match app, bundle ID, window title, or browser URL. Use more specific rules when one app needs different controls for different projects or sites.

Keys, pages, and workflows

  1. 01

    Edit a key

    Select a key, then set its title, subtitle, icon, accent, and action. Shortcut actions send documented macOS chords through the companion.

  2. 02

    Use folders and pages

    Add pages for larger profiles and point a folder key to another page. Folder navigation stays on the control device and is never sent to the Mac.

  3. 03

    Build a workflow with AI

    Set a key’s action to Workflow, then describe the result you want in plain English. Cueboard drafts up to 12 supported app-launch, URL, shortcut, and system-control steps. Review and edit every step before you run the key.

  4. 04

    Build manually when you prefer

    Add, remove, reorder, and edit workflow steps directly. AI is a starting point, not a requirement, and the workflow runs only when you tap its key.

Back up your work

  1. 01

    Export JSON

    Open Menu → Backup and export the current deck. Store the file somewhere private because it contains your deck configuration.

  2. 02

    Import carefully

    Review the source of any deck JSON before importing. Cueboard validates supported action types and technical safety limits.
