How to create a Custom Action

Published by BetterStage · Instructions for our macOS app; detailed feature reference is linked below.

Steps

  1. 1

    Open Settings → Snap Wheel → Custom Actions (Experimental)… and click New Action. Or pick a wheel slot, open the Action picker, and choose New Custom Action.

  2. 2

    Choose a type: Open Application, Open File, Run Command, or Run Shortcut (use the exact Shortcuts app name).

  3. 3

    For Run Command only, BetterStage asks for trust on first run (or every run if you choose that). Optionally show a Terminal window, then Save or Save & Test.

  4. 4

    Assign the action to an inner-ring, outer-ring, or More Actions slot. To group several actions, create an outer-ring submenu next.
