Have something to say?
Substage flickers badly
For me it is at its most severe when Finder is obscured and I alt-tab between spaces. I did a scan of other issues and didn’t quite see anything that matched this.
Option to force local models not to reason
When using local models, the newer models, like qwen3.6 (27B or 35-A3B) tend to be reasoning models. These tend to time out, so I'm forced to use outdated qwen3-coder. Afaik ollama supports setting 'think parameter' as false, which is compatible with current qwen models. Can this be implemented?
Is the developer alive??
Is this project still alive, have not seen any app updates for long time.
Configurable Submit Shortcut (Enter vs Command+Enter)
I would like the ability to choose how commands are submitted. Some users may prefer pressing Enter, while others may prefer Command+Enter to avoid accidental execution. Ideally, the submit shortcut could become a configurable preference, allowing users to choose the behavior that best matches their workflow. This could also be extended in the future as part of a broader keyboard shortcut customization system.
Automatically Focus the Command Prompt When Showing Substage
When Substage is shown via the Show/Hide hotkey, the initial focus currently lands on the window control to close Substage again, instead of the command prompt. As a result, I often have to press Tab before I can start typing. It would be much more efficient if showing Substage automatically focused the command prompt and placed the text cursor inside the input field so users can immediately start typing without any additional keyboard navigation. This would improve both usability and keyboard accessibility.
Toggle Focus Between Finder and Substage Using the Global Hotkey
When working in Finder and while Substage is open, it would become very handy if we could toggle the focus between Finder and Substage-Command-Prompt-Field via a customizable hotkey. Pressing a hotkey automatically should focus the Substage command prompt and should place the cursor inside the input field. Pressing the same hotkey again should return focus to Finder, allowing the user to continue where he left off. This would create a fast keyboard-only workflow and make switching between Finder and Substage feel much more seamless.

Menu bar suggestion
Menu bar suggestion Hi there, This app is absolutely brilliant! Huge kudos for making it accessible, especially with VoiceOver support. I genuinely wish every developer thought this way! Quick suggestion for a future update: Please add an option in settings to hide the menu bar icon. My menu bar is jam-packed, and the usual menu bar managers are incompatible with screen readers. Thanks, Sron.
A time out control in the settings pls
It will be useful to be able to set the timeout, in some prompts lm studio is still generating tokens and substage times out and stops the request
I was about to buy but...
It appears that it only activates for Finder. Unfortunately, I use Path Finder, and also QSpace Pro. Is there any way to have it activate for those windows?
Problem with search
I am looking for all Excel files that begin with “CG” everywhere on my computer and the response is “file not found” which is super crazy since I am running this command while in a directory where I am looking at 3 files that match this criteria. What am I doing wrong?
Undo capability
This is a really tricky one because Substage uses Terminal commands under the hood, and they inherently aren’t designed to be undo-able. However, given all the work I put into Substage Predicts, I know what the before-and-after states of a command will be, and for a large subset of the commands, I could back up the files that I know Substage will touch (or their names/locations), and allow restoring their previous state. In Substage Predicts I could then make it clear when a command is undo-able or not before the user runs it.
Getting "failure while running /usr/local/bin/ brew install ...

BUG
¡Hola! I have tried the app, and I love it, but it stopped working. I don't know what's wrong. I have set all the permissions and everything, but it's not giving me the taskbar at the bottom, not even with the command or the shortcuts. I don't know what to do. Can somebody help me, please?
Add OpenRouter as AI Provider
Please add support for OpenRouter as an AI provider. OpenRouter allows access to multiple AI models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, etc.) using a single API key, with more flexible model selection and better cost control. Expected features: OpenRouter API key input Model selection from OpenRouter Support for chat and summarization Optional model fallback Thank you 🙏
Add an option to use the Apple Inteligence Foundation model
This program is macOS only, and does support local LLM providers, however this requires set up and such, but as I said this is a Mac only app, and apple did introduce the foundation models API and I’m sure Apple Inteligence while not the smarttest is, plenty fast and smart for folder and file manipulation.
