Your race. Your choice.

You make the decisions. Turn on only the assistance you need.

Common

One selection.
Your whole army.

Register units and buildings of the same type with Esc, then send commands together.

Esc
Register your army

Whole-army control

Esc

Send movement, attack, ability, production, cancellation, and rally commands to all registered units and buildings of the same type.

Applies to the whole registered force even if the game shows only 12 selected. Registered Observers follow the main fighting frontline; Observers registered alone move directly.

Quick boarding

⌥ U

Distribute registered or selected troops among transports.

Available while the helper is running. Overlords require the transport upgrade.

Transport spread drop

⌥ Z

Quickly issue unload commands to multiple Shuttles, Overlords, or Dropships.

Uses selected transports when no army is registered. Actual unload timing and terrain checks follow game rules.

Mineral worker management

Auto

Send newly produced workers of all races to minerals. Protoss and Terran produce replacements while fewer than 50 workers are mining minerals.

Respects gas, construction, other tasks, and direct commands. Does not automatically produce Zerg workers. Off by default.

Maintain 3 gas workers

⌥ G

Assign mineral workers to maintain three at completed gas buildings only when your race’s main building is present in the same base.

Uses Hatcheries, Lairs, Hives, landed Command Centers, and Nexuses. Stops replenishing when the main building is lost and resumes after rebuilding. Replaces manually moved gas workers after 10 seconds. Toggle with the switch or ⌥ G. Turning off stops automatic replenishment; current gathering continues. Off by default.

Automatic upgrades

Auto

Research upgrades in priority order at completed buildings, distributing different research across multiple buildings.

Currently supports Protoss. Waits for resources and prerequisites. Off by default.

Full map

Home

Show hidden terrain, enemy unit and building appearances, and minimap markers.

Does not change cloaked or burrowed detection. Starts off. No Esc registration is needed; use Fn + ← on a MacBook keyboard.

Protoss

Precise spells.
Steady replenishment.

From Storm harassment to ammunition, get help with demanding moments.

⌥ A
Storm harassment

Storm harassment

⌥ A

Spread-drop from selected Shuttles. Templars cast an initial Storm at minerals, then prioritize visible enemy workers. Empty Shuttles retrace their approach.

Requires Storm research and energy. Storm can damage friendly units. The unloaded Templars share one initial Storm at minerals. If the cast is not confirmed, the next Templar retries. They then prioritize nearby enemy workers and use remaining energy against enemy units. Fully unloaded Shuttles retrace their approach.

Storm on arrival

⌥ right-click

Select Shuttles and set a destination. Each Shuttle drops, supports Storm, and returns as soon as it sees nearby minerals itself.

The assignment persists after selection changes. New commands to that Shuttle or disabling the feature cancel it. Off by default. The unloaded Templars share one initial Storm at minerals. If the cast is not confirmed, the next Templar retries. They then prioritize nearby enemy workers and use remaining energy against enemy units. Fully unloaded Shuttles retrace their approach.

Storm support in combat

Auto

Register your force with Esc and issue an A attack command. Templars and Shuttles accompany it, supporting with Storm against clusters of at least two eligible enemy combat units.

Requires research and energy. Combat Storm targets clusters of at least two eligible enemy combat units, excluding workers, Overlords, Scourge, and Interceptors. Reduces friendly damage and overlap where possible. Shuttles unload at 50% hull health or below. Stop, Hold Position, switching off, or ⌥ Esc ends support.

Reaver–Shuttle control

⌥ R

Register Reavers, Shuttles, and combat units with Esc, then A attack to board, follow, unload, fire, and recover. Select only Shuttles and press ⌥ R for independent harassment.

Targets enemy ground units, workers, and buildings. Recovers Reavers early when threatened. Press ⌥ R again or turn the feature off to stop. Off by default.

Scarab & Interceptor replenishment

Auto

Queue missing ammunition for completed Reavers and Carriers, replenishing again as production slots open.

Uses normal production costs and waits when resources are insufficient.

Dark Archon Feedback

Auto

Distribute casts among visible enemy High Templars within range.

Consumes normal energy. A target with a confirmed Feedback effect is not cast on again.

Arbiter Stasis Field

Auto

Assign enemy Shuttles, Dropships, and Overlords within normal vision and casting range to your Arbiters.

Requires research and energy. Includes new Arbiters; excludes frozen targets and casts already in progress.

Corsair Disruption Web

Auto

Moving Corsairs cast Web on enemy Bunkers, Photon Cannons, Missile Turrets, and Spore Colonies within normal vision and range.

Requires research and energy; avoids overlapping casts in the same area. Off by default.

Automatic Web on sieged Tanks

Auto

Your Corsairs automatically cast Disruption Web on enemy Tanks in siege mode within normal vision and casting range, then continue to their original destination if they were moving.

Excludes Tanks in tank mode and allies. Shares area reservations with building Web to prevent duplicate casts by multiple Corsairs. Requires research and energy; no shortcut. Off by default.

Photon Cannon construction

⌥ P

Use 1–12 Probes to build two rows inside base walls or fill open center areas. Builds needed Pylons first, then powered Cannons, leaving entrances clear.

Works within current resources. Select working Probes and press again to stop only those Probes.

Zerg

From vision
to defense.

Assist your Queens, Scourge, Defilers, and Overlord positioning.

⌥ O
Overlord scouting placement

Queen Spawn Broodlings

Auto

Assign eligible visible enemy High Templars, Tanks, and Lurkers to your Queens.

Requires Broodlings research and energy. Includes newly produced Queens.

Overlord scouting placement

⌥ O

Select one Overlord and press ⌥ O to space empty Overlords across the map and hold position. With fewer Overlords, hills in multiple directions are filled first.

New Overlords fill vacant positions while enabled. Press ⌥ O again to stop. Excludes transports, other assignments, and direct control; numbers and threats can leave vision gaps.

Scourge automatic attack

Auto

Assign Scourge only to 14 types in normal vision: Shuttles, Dropships, Observers, Carriers, Science Vessels, Battlecruisers, Overlords, Mutalisks, Guardians, Devourers, Wraiths, Scouts, Valkyries, and Corsairs.

Targets Carriers themselves instead of Interceptors. Includes newly produced Scourge.

Defiler Consume

Auto

Send Zerglings to low-energy Defilers to recharge; burrowed Defilers emerge and then hide again.

Requires Consume research. Produces missing Zerglings at normal cost.

Defensive Dark Swarm

Auto

Burrowed Defilers emerge when enemy combat units enter their vision, cast defensive Swarms, and hide again.

Excludes workers and noncombat units. Can be used with automatic Consume.

Drone Hatchery construction

⌥ H

Move 1–12 selected Drones to assigned positions and build evenly spaced Hatcheries.

Runs once within starting resources. Skips positions that cannot proceed.

Queen automatic Ensnare

Auto

Cast Ensnare on enemy Corsairs, Shuttles, Dropships, and Overlords within normal vision and casting range.

Requires research and energy; avoids duplicate targets and overlapping casts. Off by default.

Burrow irradiated Drones

Auto

Prioritize a Burrow command when Irradiate is detected on your Drones.

Requires Burrowing research. Drones remain burrowed after the effect ends or the toggle is switched off; unburrow them manually when needed. Off by default.

Base Drone evacuation

Auto

Burrow Drones in bases entered by enemy Reavers. When the threat leaves, unburrow them and return them to minerals.

Requires Burrowing research and normal burrowing conditions.

Dark Swarm after drop

⌥ A

Select your Overlords and press ⌥ A to unload all cargo at their current positions. Defilers that actually land then cast Dark Swarm over your Zerglings, Ultralisks, and burrowed Lurkers.

Also supports Overlords in an Esc-registered army. Unloading uses U → self and keeps cargo order. Each cast costs 100 energy and covers as many troops as possible without overlap, until energy is insufficient or no uncovered troops remain. Unburrowed Lurkers are excluded. Continues after selection changes; requires the shortcut to start. Off by default.

Dark Swarm support in combat

Auto

Register Zerglings, Ultralisks, and Defilers with Esc and issue an A attack command to support the frontline with Dark Swarm.

Prioritizes at least three enemy ground combat units and also considers ground-attacking buildings. Avoids overlapping casts; can work with automatic Consume.

Spore Colony construction

⌥ S

Use 1–12 selected Drones to build two rows against base walls and morph into Spore Colonies.

Fills the outer row before the second row. Requires creep, resources, and normal construction conditions.

Zerg automatic upgrades

Auto

Research upgrades by priority, distributing different research across multiple buildings.

Checks resources, prerequisites, and Hydralisk Den research conditions.

Terran

Keep it repaired.
Keep firing.

Reduce repetitive controls for repairs, spells, and defensive construction.

⌥ S
Supply Depot construction

SCV automatic repair

Auto

Assign SCVs to damaged repairable units and buildings, then return them to their previous work.

Prioritizes idle SCVs and excludes gas workers. Uses normal repair costs.

Ghost Lockdown

Auto

Distribute eligible enemy targets within vision and range among your Ghosts.

Requires research and energy. Excludes SCVs, Interceptors, and targets already locked down.

Science Vessel Irradiate

Auto

Distribute casts among enemy Defilers and High Templars within vision and casting range.

Requires research and energy. Excludes existing effects and targets being cast on by another Vessel.

Supply Depot construction

⌥ S

Use 1–12 selected SCVs to extend existing Depots. Retries when units temporarily block construction.

Waits at the 200 supply cap or for resources. Select working SCVs and press again to release only those SCVs.

Missile Turret construction

⌥ T

Use 1–12 selected SCVs to build inside base walls or fill open center areas.

Select working SCVs and press again to stop only those SCVs. Follows game resource and construction requirements.

⌥ is the Option key on a Mac keyboard. Automatic features can be enabled or disabled individually in the app.

Check setup requirements

Three steps to get started.

01

Install the app

Unzip the download and move the app to your Applications folder.

02

Allow permissions

Follow the app instructions to allow Accessibility and Input Monitoring.

03

Connect the game

Launch the supported game version and check the connection status in the app.

Before you begin

Which Macs and game versions are supported?

You need an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 14 or later. Intel Macs are not supported.

The supported game is StarCraft: Remastered 1.23.10.13515. Other versions cannot connect, so check compatibility before updating your game. Install the game separately.

What should I prepare before installation?
  1. Rosetta: If your Mac asks to install Rosetta when you first open the game, follow the installation prompt.
  2. Xcode Command Line Tools: Open Terminal, enter xcode-select --install, and complete the installer. These tools are needed to connect the helper to the game.
  3. Permissions: Allow the app under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and Input Monitoring. If harassment-hotkeys appears instead of the app, allow that entry. Then choose Reconnect in the app or restart it.

When connecting, macOS may request Developer Tools permission or administrator authentication. The app does not collect or store your administrator password.

The game must be in its default installation location: /Applications/StarCraft/x86_64/StarCraft.app.

How do I set up Super Fastest–style maps?

Super Fastest–style maps have dedicated features such as Overlord scouting placement and automatic construction.

Check the setup guide in your download for the supported map, then place your own copy in ~/Library/Application Support/Blizzard/StarCraft/Maps/Download/ without changing its original filename. The app does not include the map. If the file is missing or does not match the supported map, those features will not run.

The app will not open or connect to the game.

Move the app to Applications before opening it. Check the download file details for signing and notarization status. If it is blocked, try opening it once, then check the app name and download source under System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway. You do not need to turn off your Mac’s security protections.

If the game will not connect, check the supported game version, Xcode Command Line Tools installation, and Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions. Then choose Reconnect in the app.

Does it play the entire game automatically?

The app helps with repetitive controls such as selecting units, sending commands, casting spells, and construction. You choose your strategy and manage your army. Enable only the features you want.

Features require the appropriate resources, research, energy, vision, and range.

How do I stop a feature?

Turn off its switch in the app. ⌥ Esc cancels ongoing army control, boarding, spread drops, Storm, scouting placement, and additional construction tasks. Persistent features such as repair, ammunition replenishment, and automatic spells must be turned off with their own switches.

To end all assistance, choose Quit from the app menu or press ⌘ Q. Closing the window alone leaves the app running.

Are the game and map included?

The download contains the helper app. You must obtain and install your own game and required map. Game files and Blizzard artwork are not included.

Before use, check the game terms and the tool rules for your match or server. This is an unofficial app with no Blizzard affiliation. Licenses for included components are available in the license documents in your download.

Do I need to visit the website for every update?

App downloads and new update distribution are paused while we prepare a SaaS transition. A reopening date has not been set.
