Services (macOS)

Services let people access functionality in one app from another. An app that provides services advertises the operations it can perform on particular types of data. The system then intelligently exposes its services in the app menu and in contextual menus that appear when Control-clicking text, files, and other kinds of data. For example, a service for creating a Mail message is available when you have selected text. — Apple Human Interface Guidelines

Services are sometimes known as Quick Actions.

Services allow use of features from macOS/apps to do things that FSNotes cannot do itself.

Using a Service

1. Open the Services menu
   • FSNotes menu > Services
   • or: Right-click context menu > Services
2. Choose a Service

Note that any selected text will be passed to the service you choose.
