Choose the right result behavior

Open an action's gear and inspect its Result choices. Supported built-ins and custom action types offer different combinations of review, display, replacement, copying, and external handoff. Review, copy, or replace allows a replacement step; Display result in popup is display-only. Replace selected text applies to editable selections; a non-editable selection falls back to a popup. Failed actions never replace your text.

Correct text and resize the window

Supported text results are editable before copying, replacing, saving to a note, or listening. Enable or disable editing in Settings → Result Popup. Drag a popup edge or corner to resize it. The size is retained during completion, retry, and recall; new results start at their natural size. Not every rich or image result is an editable text field.

Use the current result

Enable optional Add to note controls to append the result to your configured destination. Its dropdown can create a note. Copying, note export, replacement, and supported speech use your edited text. Result Popup settings also control font size, shimmer, and closing behavior.

Look up a word without opening another app

Set Dictionary → Result to the in-app popup. It uses the dictionaries enabled on your Mac, presents structured meanings and examples, and offers a speaker beside the word plus full-entry playback below. Existing users keep their Dictionary-app setting until they change it.

Create structured result cards

Custom JavaScript actions can use the Rich Result Card preset for headings, lists, quotes, code, links, badges, and optional speech. ActionClip renders supported structured content natively; arbitrary HTML, CSS, and injected browser scripts are not executed.
