DWIM
macOS command palette that reads the frontmost app's menu tree through the accessibility API, asks Jev one Noul per menu item against a plain-language request, and presses the top match above a confidence threshold, falling back to a ranked list otherwise.

About this project
Tap a key, type what you want in your own words, and DWIM finds and runs the right menu item in whatever app is in front. It works in any app with a standard Mac menu bar, with no per-app setup. macOS already exposes every app's full menu tree through the accessibility API; DWIM reads it, asks Jev (TypeSafe's decision model) one yes/no question per menu item, all in parallel, and presses the winner. Jev answers in a few hundred milliseconds, which is what makes this usable while you type.

Highlights
- Reads any Mac app's menu tree via the accessibility API and asks Jev one Noul per item
- Runs the top match when confidence clears the default 0.5 threshold, with lead defaulting to 0
- Destructive-sounding items (delete, erase, quit) never auto-run; they wait for a Return press
- CLI mode tests ranking: --query Finder prints the top five matches with Jev probabilities
- MIT-licensed single-file AppKit app; needs macOS 13+, Accessibility permission and your Jev key
Watch out
MIT license. Requires your own Jev API key, and it only sees the menu bar, so toolbar-only features and thin-menu Electron apps are out of reach.
Questions about this entry
Short answers drawn from the linked project or page.
No. Items whose names suggest data loss (delete, erase, empty, revert, remove, quit) always wait for a Return press, and when Jev is not confident DWIM shows a ranked list instead of acting.
DWIM sends only your typed words and the frontmost app's menu item titles to TypeSafe's API. It never reads or sends document content, window contents or screenshots, and skips menus that usually hold personal data.
It reads the frontmost app's whole menu tree through the accessibility API, which macOS already exposes for any app with a standard menu bar, and asks Jev one yes/no question per item in parallel. It presses the top match when confidence clears the threshold, so the request resolves in a few hundred milliseconds while you are still typing.
macOS 13 or later with the Xcode command line tools, your own Jev API key, and Accessibility permission under System Settings, Privacy & Security, after which you quit and reopen the app. Jev is in early access, so you request a key at typesafe.ai; a query costs a fraction of a cent.
Clone the repository, cd into app and run ./build.sh, then open DWIM.app. Because you build it yourself macOS does not show the unidentified developer warning. Your key is saved to ~/.config/dwim/env readable only by you, or you can set TYPESAFE_API_KEY in the environment instead.
Two, from the terminal. `defaults write com.rohitm.dwim confident -float 0.7` raises the minimum confidence needed to run without asking, from the default 0.5, and `defaults write com.rohitm.dwim lead -float 0.15` requires the winner to beat the runner-up by that margin, from a default of 0.
It only sees the menu bar, so toolbar-only features and thin-menu Electron apps are out of reach. It is an MIT-licensed single-file AppKit app, and it requires your own key since it ships without one and runs no server.

Go CLI for Jev with noul, choice, score, eval, rank, and models commands: rank sends one Score question per item per weighted YAML dimension in a single request and sums weight times score in code, while threshold flags turn a failed gate into exit code 10 for scripts and CI.

Vercel Labs' Unix-like coding agent CLI written in Zig, shipping a typesafe_permission_reviewer builtin that runs the agent's permission decisions through Jev rather than an LLM call. Model-agnostic and embeddable via libfx and ACP.

Python harness for GUI grounding: it divides a screenshot into grid tiles, has a vision model describe each tile neutrally, then asks typesafe-ai/jev to choose among the descriptions. Local confidence and margin gates decide whether to descend or refuse, and it emits only a point and bounding box.

Cisco's security scanner for agent skills added a System One analyzer: it sends the full skill text to POST /v1/systemone as one advisory Noul question and records the probability, while being deliberately unable to emit a finding or change a severity.

Original write-ups on what this entry is for.
The request shape barely changes across surfaces; the surrounding contract does. When to call the API directly and when a gateway, a Worker binding, or a router entry earns its extra hop.
