Commute 3.0

Switch contexts instantly. Control your workspace.

Commute helps you jump between work contexts in seconds. Build profiles that open what you need, optionally close what you do not, and keep your Mac aligned with your focus.

Designed for clarity. Built for momentum.

Commute 3.0 introduces a refined interface with stronger contrast, cleaner hierarchy, and precise feedback. It stays out of the way while giving you total visibility and control.

Switch contexts in seconds

Create profiles for development, writing, meetings, personal time, focus sessions... Add the apps, documents, or URLs you want to open or close. Launch with one click and get started instantly.

Open apps and URLs together

Each profile can open selected apps and websites in one action, so your full workspace appears exactly when you need it.

Silent, non-disruptive execution

Launch profiles without stealing focus. Stay in flow while Commute prepares your environment in the background.

Reliable profile management

Drag and drop reorder, automatic shortcut reassignment, instant duplication, and clear run feedback keep everything predictable.

Full control, always optional

Closing applications is optional, off by default, and only enabled with explicit confirmation. Commute performs graceful termination and never force-quits applications.

  • Profiles can optionally ensure selected apps are not running.
  • Improved launch reliability with delay and retry options.
  • Better keyboard handling for faster profile execution.
  • Seamless iCloud sync across your Macs.
