Hook 3.9 available with additional Finder integration

yes, that’s on the horizon. But we are working within the macOS ecosystem. Shortcuts and QuickActions are standards way of providing functionality. We do want to make it easier for people to install Shortcuts. But macOS does not give us a lot of options. It will continue to be faster for us to add functionality to Hookmark via Shortcuts, without making Hookmark UI too complex.

Having said that, again: yes we will continue to extend the Hookmark UI while not letting it become overwhelming. Hookmark 5 takes some more steps.

Users can assign keyboard shortcuts to Shortcuts:

Very easy to do from Shortcuts app.
