Open Alter - Alter Documentation

Open Alter — pick your path

Most new users work in QuickHub Mode (default). Choose what fits the moment:

Method	Best for
⌘⇧Space	Open QuickHub from anywhere (default global shortcut)
Edge Bar	Move to a screen edge to reveal the launcher — Edge Bar guide
Double ⌘	Open QuickHub and attach beside the active app (configurable in Settings → Shortcuts)
⌘⇧H	Open the full Hub window for tabs, workspaces, and transcripts
Notch	Legacy path when QuickHub Mode is off — hover the camera notch
Voice	Hold your speech-to-text key (default Fn) and speak

First time? Press ⌘⇧Space to open QuickHub, or glide to the inner screen edge if you enabled Edge Bar.

QuickHub attach workflow

When you need Alter beside your current app:

Press ⌃⌘← or ⌃⌘→ to attach QuickHub left or right of the frontmost window
Or use double ⌘ (default) to open and attach in one step
Press ⌃⌘↓ to detach back to floating QuickHub

See QuickHub Mode for attach preferences and pin behavior.

Send your first prompt

Open QuickHub (⌘⇧Space) or the Hub (⌘⇧H)
Type a simple request like “Summarize my notes”
Press Enter

The default Ask Anything action runs Flow, Computer Use, and Ask User — so you can ask for app actions or screen automation without picking a special action first.
