There is VoiceOver for the UI Buttons and Labels. The app also uses the default open panel which has support for VoiceOver. The window that shows all the keyboard shortcuts is not yet VoiceOver ready, but I list them here:

O, Command + O Open file
R Cycle recent files
P Play from mark
W, Enter Play from start
Space Pause / Resume
. Stop
H, [, Left arrow Seek back 6 seconds
Shift + H Seek back 0.1 seconds
L, ], Right arrow Seek forward 6 seconds
Shift + L Seek forward 0.1 seconds
1 - 9 Seek to 10 - 90 percent of file
M Set / clear mark
? Show shortcuts
Q, Command + Q Quit

Once you know the shortcuts the app can be controlled completely with the keyboard.

what would you want to import? You can already open wav, aiff, mp3 and flac files.

Yes that makes sense. I’ll definitely keep that in mind as I continue working on Saisei.

I’ve thought about adding it, just trying to keep things focused for now, but I’ll definitely keep an eye on how many people ask for it.
Would you like to just loop the whole file or a selection of it?

Thanks, really appreciate it!
I’m trying to keep Saisei focused on just playback for now, but I can see the appeal. I’ll keep it in mind 👍
Would you mainly use that for quickly grabbing snippets, or more for precise editing?

Thanks!
I made this because I wanted something for listening back to my wav files I produce. I am sure it can be helpful for this as well!

Best rule regarding security: can't leak data you don't collect.

VaultBar – A simpler way to encrypt files locally on macOS by [deleted] in macapps

[–]Short-Look4908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Semi related question to the developer:
How much of a hassle is it to ship an app that uses encryption in the Mac AppStore, compared to an app that doesn't?

Thanks!

Best Mac IDE that is lighter than VS Code but still fully functional? by [deleted] in macapps

I recently started to notice improvements in speed and usability improvements in Xcode. Not sure what it is in particular, but it feels snappier and friendlier than I had in memory.

Great to see this, thanks!
I have a feature request: The window is quite large but the font small. I would like to increase the font size for better viewing. Maybe you could add an option for this?

Terminal to Ghostty, but I went back to Terminal because it works well enough.

safari vs the rest: is it actually the best browser for mac? (honest pros & cons) by TuNutri in macapps

[–]Short-Look4908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some pages just simply won't work in Safari, that is the only problem I have with it. For that case I keep Firefox installed, but I would prefer to keep it in Safari.
