FAQ

How do I install a Quick Action?

After purchase, download the file from Gumroad and double-click it. macOS will guide you through installation.

Yes. Each helper is built as a Shortcuts-based Quick Action for modern versions of macOS.

What happens if file names conflict?

The helper automatically renames files to avoid conflicts so nothing gets overwritten.
