Questions
Will it work on my Mac?
Yes, on any Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later. You do not need a MacBook with a Touch Bar.
How do I open it?
Double-tap the Option key from anywhere. You can change the shortcut in Customize NedBar.
Does it read what I type?
No. Password fields are never read and NedBar keeps no record of your typing.
