Nomousemode – keyboard window switcher for macOS

Maps intuitive WASD movement, Space/Return clicks, and an on/off global hotkey into a lightweight, menu-bar macOS app — the core feature set is focused and practical. The product's custom key bindings, speed-boost modifier, and native Intel/Apple Silicon support make it genuinely useful for people who hate reaching for the mouse, though the idea isn't groundbreaking and requires Accessibility permissions which may scare casual users.
