HopkeyArc's command bar, in Safari
In Arc, ⌘T opened one box for tabs, history, and search. Safari's ⌘T opens an empty tab. Hopkey takes over ⌘T in Safari and opens a bar that searches your open tabs, Tab Groups, history, sites, and Safari's own menus.

Why a Safari extension cannot do this
A Safari extension cannot take over ⌘T, run Safari's menu commands, or open a window over Safari. Hopkey is a Mac app that runs in the menu bar. It reads your tabs through Safari's scripting support, which macOS asks you to allow one time, and uses the Accessibility permission to tell private windows from normal ones and to run Safari's menu commands.
Hopkey also works in Chrome, Brave, Edge, and Vivaldi. See what works in each browser.
On macOS 26 the bar uses Liquid Glass. It can follow the system or stay light or dark, and the highlight can be Hopkey Blue, your system accent, or a color you pick.
Questions and answers
Does Hopkey replace Safari's ⌘T?
Yes, while Safari is the active app. Type an address or a search and press Enter to open it in a new tab, as before. You can turn the shortcut off in Settings.
Can I search tabs in a Tab Group that is not open?
Yes, if you allow Full Disk Access. Hopkey then reads Safari's list of Tab Groups, so results include the tabs of every group, not only the open ones.
Which sites have a site search?
Google, YouTube, Amazon, Wikipedia, Reddit, X, GitHub, Google Maps, Gmail, Netflix, Stack Overflow, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and dozens more. Type the name or a short alias, such as yt or gh, then press Tab.
Does it send what I type anywhere?
Search suggestions send what you type to Google, or to the site you search. They are never sent from private windows, and you can turn them off in Settings. Your tabs and history stay on your Mac.
