Bring text, file, OCR, and plugin actions to the place where you are already working. SwiftBiu is a system-wide context action platform for text, files, OCR, plugins, and automation. Select text in any app, choose files in supported scenarios, or capture text from the screen. SwiftBiu can show a native toolbar instantly, or run the exact action you need through shortcuts, gestures, file drags, OCR triggers, and per-app rules. Copy, Translate, Search, Text Formatting, Image Compression, Video Compression, Image Format Conversion, Background Removal, AirDrop, AI actions, and automated workflows - all one action away. Workflows SwiftBiu supports: • Text Actions: translation, search, formatting, copy/cut/paste helpers, link opening, and plugin-powered text workflows. • File Actions: image/video compression, image format conversion, background removal, AirDrop, system sharing, opening files with chosen apps, Reveal in Finder, and link downloads. • OCR Recognition: capture a screen region, extract text, copy it, translate it, or pass it to your OCR toolbar actions. • Dedicated Shortcuts: launch frequently used built-in actions, plugins, and web extensions without opening the full toolbar. Powerful and Extensible Plugin System SwiftBiu supports multiple extension types: • JavaScript-based plugins for fast text, file, and automation actions • Web extensions built with HTML + CSS + JavaScript for richer interactive tools Plugins live alongside built-in actions, so they can appear in the toolbar, run from dedicated shortcuts, and participate in Quick Triggers. Context-Aware Trigger System: • Copy Triggers: use Command+C by default, replace it with your own shortcut in Enhanced Mode, or add an optional confirmation shortcut before SwiftBiu appears. • Gesture & Shortcut Text Triggers: open SwiftBiu or run a specific text action with double-tap, left swipe, right swipe, Shortcut + Gesture, or Gesture + Shortcut. • Quick Triggers: bind gestures directly to SwiftBiu, built-in actions, or SwiftBiuX plugins, so a familiar movement can launch the exact extension you need. • File Drag Triggers: drag files or links in selected 4- or 8-direction layouts, with Drag + Shortcut or Shortcut + Drag timing, and map different directions to different file extensions. • OCR Trigger: press a shortcut, select a screen region, extract text, optionally copy it, translate it, or send it to your OCR toolbar actions. • App-Specific Rules: inherit global defaults or customise copy triggers, gesture rules, drag directions, file actions, toolbar actions, and active control areas for each app. • Contextual Routing: the same gesture or shortcut can open SwiftBiu in one app, run a plugin in another, or stay disabled where it would get in your way. Why choose SwiftBiu? • Work across apps: Bring the same action layer to text, files, links, and screen text. • Fully customizable: Control triggers, toolbar layout, action order, shortcuts, and per-app behavior. • Built for automation: Combine built-in actions, plugins, and web extensions into your own workflow. • Native performance: Built with Swift and AppKit for a fast, smooth macOS experience. SwiftBiu puts the right action next to your selection, file, or screen text.
