Brisk
Support
Something wrong, missing or confusing, or an idea for the app? Tell me: I read every message.
Write to piotr@codice.pl. Mention your Mac model, your macOS version and Brisk's version (Brisk › About Brisk), and the kind of file involved.
Ideas
Missing something you'd reach for in a quick edit? Send it by email. Suggestions help decide what comes next.
You can also send a report from Brisk, in Settings › Support. Brisk shows you exactly what's in it before you send it, and a report never holds your files' contents. It's the only thing Brisk ever sends. If a file is part of the problem, email it only if you're happy to share it, or a small sample that shows the same thing.
Questions
Which files does Brisk open?
Any plain-text file. It colors Markdown, JSON and JSON with Comments, YAML, TOML, Shell, xcconfig, Swift, Objective-C, C and C++, Rust, Python, Ruby, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and JSX, PHP with the HTML around it, and XML, and opens the rest as plain text. Very large files open without colors: they stop above about 4 MB.
How do I make Brisk my editor for Markdown files?
The tour on first launch offers it, and you can run it again from Help › Brisk Tour. macOS asks you to confirm each kind of file. Or, in the Finder, choose File › Get Info on a file, pick Brisk under Open with, and click Change All.
Siri doesn't do what I ask.
Siri reaches only the files you have open, the ones you opened recently, and the folders you gave Brisk, so open the file or its folder first. Siri AI comes to Brisk as soon as Apple opens it to apps. Until then, and wherever it isn't available for your Mac, region or language, Brisk's actions are in the Shortcuts app and in Spotlight.
Do I need Brisk Agent Kit?
Only for Ask AI, which runs Claude Code on the file or folder you have open. Everything else works without it. Read what the Agent Kit adds.
Ask AI is greyed out, or missing.
Greyed out means no agent is connected yet: open Brisk Agent Kit and click Connect next to Claude Code. Missing means Brisk can't find the Kit: Brisk and Brisk Agent Kit both need to be in your Applications folder. Brisk's Settings › Agents says what's missing. More on the Agent Kit page.
Does Brisk have Git, a terminal or plugins?
No, on purpose. Brisk is for the quick edit, and stays small and fast by leaving those to the tools you already use for them.
How do I uninstall Brisk?
Quit Brisk and move it to the Trash. If you installed Brisk Agent Kit, open it first and click Uninstall…: it tells Brisk to forget what you allowed agents, and removes its own files. How it works.
Which Macs are supported?
Macs with Apple silicon, running macOS 26 or later.
