Download for Mac

Download the latest release

Run it locally (if you are curious):

Important: Use v8 Node

Because Pretzel has a dependency node-ffi that requires node v8, until node-ffi is compaitable with latest node, you should use nvm to install node v8 to run Pretzel locally. Otherwise, npm install would give you some error regarding node-gyp.

nvm install 8.11.3 # I personally use this version
nvm ls # to make sure we are currently using node v8

npm install
npm start

Compile Scss

sass --watch sass/main.scss:main.css

If you have github account, please check the roadmap first then read the Contributing doc here

If you don't have a github account, please check the roadmap first. If you don't see desired apps under development, follow these steps:

1. Create a text file with .yml as the file name. For example, Photoshop.yml.
2. Find your app's shortcuts on the web and add them to your .yml file, in the same format as the files in /shortcuts folder.
3. Send me the .yml file so I could add it in.
