App Enrichment

When Tuna knows extra things about an app, selecting that app can reveal app-specific browsing or app-specific actions.

What It Looks Like

Find an app in Tuna, like Safari, Notes, Reminders, Obsidian, or Things.

Depending on the installed extensions, that app may gain:

  • richer right-arrow browsing
  • actions that only appear for that app
  • shortcuts into the app's own objects or workflows

For example:

  • Safari can expose browser-oriented actions or browsing entries
  • Notes can expose note creation actions
  • Reminders can expose reminder creation actions
  • Things can expose task-oriented actions
  • Obsidian can expose vault or note-oriented actions

The exact list depends on your installed extensions, app availability, permissions, and settings.

Browsing an Enriched App

Some enriched apps let you press the right arrow from the app result to browse related content.

That might open a single related list, or it might show a small top-level list first, such as categories inside that app.

If an app has no special browse enrichment, Tuna falls back to normal behavior, such as opening or browsing what macOS makes available.

App-Specific Actions

Some enriched apps add actions that only make sense when that exact app is the subject.

The important part: these actions do not clutter the global action list for everything else.

You first choose the app, then choose an action that belongs to that app.

So instead of learning a separate command surface, you keep using the normal Tuna pattern:

  1. choose the app
  2. choose the app-specific action
  3. add a target if the action asks for one

See How Commands Work for the subject/action/target model.

Why It Exists

A normal launcher can open apps.

App enrichment lets Tuna treat an app as an entry point into what that app can do.

That keeps Tuna small on the surface, while still letting installed extensions make specific apps deeper and more useful.
