Description:

t's like Alfred but for the UI
Wooshy searches through UI elements' metadata, i.e. labels, titles, values, tooltips, placeholders, types etc. Some of this metadata is visible on the screen, while some is hidden behind the scenes. To discover all the terms you can use to reach a Target, check out The Inspector 🕵️‍♂️️

The Art of Searching
Wooshy's philosophy is to avoid navigation. Rather, you start with a gross search—just a few letters—and if needed you narrow down to the specific target you want to reach by typing a few more letters. This is possible thanks to:
1 fuzzy matching: Wooshy will look for parts of different words, in any order. it's up to you
2 role search: you can specify the role of the UI element you want, again in any order
So basically the best way to use Wooshy is: 1) you type a bit 2) if you've reached your Target, congratulations 3) if not, continue your current word, or add a new one to the search by adding a space, and start typing more 3) keep doing until you reach your Target 4) or you can also navigate between the Targets highlighted.
