Extensions
Small tools built into Glaido, such as a color picker, clipboard history and text expansion. Turn one on, then use it with a shortcut, in Spotlight, or by voice.
Extensions are tools built into Glaido. Each one does one job, and you turn on only the ones you want. Every extension is included on every plan, Basic too.
| Extension | What it does | Default shortcut |
|---|---|---|
| Color Picker | Pick any color on your screen and paste it as hex, RGB, HSL or OKLCH. One shortcut, or just ask. | Set your own |
| Clipboard History | Bring back anything you copied: text, links, images, files and colors, searchable and grouped by day. | Set your own |
| Text Snippet Expansion | Type a short trigger, press the marker key you set, and get the full text: signatures, addresses, replies, code. | Set your own |
| Processes | See what is using your CPU or memory, then end or restart one process after you confirm. | Set your own |
| Keep Awake | Keep your computer and display awake for an hour, until 6pm, or every weekday from 9 to 6. | Set your own |
Three ways to use an extension
- A shortcut. You set one on the extension's page in Glaido, and you can give a command a phrase to say instead.
- Spotlight. Spotlight is the window that opens over your other apps. Extensions with a list, such as Clipboard or Processes, open there.
- Your voice. Hold your Commands hotkey and ask, for example "pick a color as RGB" or "keep my computer awake for an hour". Each extension's page lists what you can say.
Set one up
Open Extensions in the Glaido sidebar and pick one. Turning it on opens a short setup:
- 1
Permissions
Lists everything the extension can use. It can't use anything else.
- 2
System access
Only when your system needs to allow something first. Allow it in your system settings, then click Check again.
- 3
Hotkey
You set the shortcut here. None is assigned until you do. If another app already uses the keys you pick, choose different ones.
- 4
Try it
Shows a few things to say in Commands mode.
Each extension page on this site also has an Open in Glaido link that opens this setup directly.
Use extensions from a terminal or an AI agent
With the command line on, glaido runs an extension from a terminal:
glaido extensions list
glaido ext color-picker pick
glaido ext keep-awake keep_awake --for "2 hours"Claude Code and Codex reach the same commands. An extension that is off, or not available on your system, refuses the command.
