## 1. Summon Gemini Instantly with a Global Shortcut

Stop switching to your browser to find the Gemini tab. Press `Cmd+Ctrl+A` from any application on your Mac to open Gemlet in under 1 second. Pin the window to keep Gemini visible alongside your current work.

**Why this matters:** Productivity research shows context switching between applications costs up to 40% of productive time. A global shortcut eliminates the biggest friction point in using Gemini throughout the day.

## 2. Run Up to 4 Chats Side-by-Side with Split Panels

Instead of switching between browser tabs, [Split Panels](/content/solutions/multiple-gemini-gems/index.html) let you run up to 4 independent Gemini conversations in a single window. Each panel navigates independently with resizable dividers.

**Best for:** Comparing outputs from different Gems, running a research chat alongside a coding chat, or keeping a reference conversation visible while starting a new one.

## 3. Save Context with Workspaces

Workspaces save your [Split Panel](/content/solutions/multiple-gemini-gems/index.html) layouts so you can restore a specific panel configuration in 1 keystroke via the Command Palette (`Cmd+K`).

**Best for:** Developers who separate client projects, writers who maintain different research contexts, or anyone who uses Gemini for both work and personal tasks.

## 4. Create Slash Commands for Repeated Prompts

If you type the same prompt structure more than twice, turn it into a Slash Command. Type `/review` to insert your full code review template, or `/translate` for your translation prompt. Commands expand instantly in the chat input.

**Best for:** Code reviews, content briefs, translation templates, summarization prompts — any prompt you reuse across multiple conversations.

## 5. Bookmark Important Chats with Hotkeys

Gemini's web interface buries conversations in a chronological sidebar with no bookmarking. [Gemlet Bookmarks](/content/solutions/bookmark-gemini-chats/index.html) let you pin your most important chats and access them with `Cmd+0` through `Cmd+9`. For everything else, `Cmd+K` lets you search across all bookmarks by name.

**Best for:** Long-running project chats, reference conversations you return to daily, and Gems you access frequently.

## 6. Assign Keyboard Shortcuts to Your Gems

Gemlet auto-syncs your custom Gems from your Google account and lets you assign each one a numeric shortcut (`0–9`). Switch from your "Code Expert" Gem to your "Writing Assistant" Gem in a single keystroke — no mouse, no sidebar navigation.

**Best for:** Users with 3+ Gems who switch between specialized AI personas throughout the day.

## 7. Export Conversations Before They Disappear

Gemini [silently drops messages and deletes older chats](/content/solutions/save-gemini-chat-history/index.html). The browser's print-to-PDF cuts off long conversations. Gemlet's dedicated export captures the complete conversation with preserved formatting — code blocks, markdown, and chat structure intact.

**Best for:** Archiving research sessions, preserving AI-assisted code reviews for project documentation, and compliance record-keeping.

## Putting It All Together

The highest-productivity Gemini workflow on Mac looks like this:

1. **Summon Gemlet** with `Cmd+Ctrl+A` from any app.
2. **Switch to your workspace** via `Cmd+K`— your split panels, Gems, and bookmarks load automatically.
3. **Start a prompt** with a Slash Command like `/review` to skip the boilerplate.
4. **Compare outputs** across split panels if needed.
5. **Export the result** to PDF for your project records.
6. **Dismiss Gemlet** with `Cmd+Ctrl+A` and return to your previous app.

Total time: seconds, not minutes. No browser tabs. No mouse required.
