A tiny, fully native macOS launcher. One hotkey, everything you reach for all day, under 100 MB of RAM.

SwiftUI and AppKit, zero third-party dependencies, no Electron and no telemetry. It also runs real Raycast extensions, rendered as native SwiftUI. Free, open source, and staying that way.

Tinycast is free, and it stays that way. If it earns a place in your daily flow, a one-off tip helps keep it actively maintained. GitHub Sponsors isn't available in my country, so please support here:

• App launcher — fuzzy-search and launch anything, pin favorites, see what's running, quit an app or every app at once.
• Global hotkey — one shortcut summons the palette from anywhere.
• Per-app hotkeys — bind a key to an app; press it to toggle (focus/hide).
• Search Files — open files and folders from the folders you choose, through Spotlight, with no index of our own.
• Dictionary — look a word up with the Define Word command, or define whatever you typed from the launcher's fallbacks, read from the Mac's own dictionaries.
• Clipboard history — text and images, searchable, pasted back into the app you were using.
• Calculator — do math, unit, live currency and crypto conversions inline, right in the palette.
• Quicklinks — turn a URL, search, file or deeplink into a command, with placeholders for typed input, the clipboard or the date.
• Apple Shortcuts — search and run the shortcuts you built in the Shortcuts app, with aliases and global hotkeys.
• Snippets — reusable Markdown templates with dynamic placeholders, arguments, nested references and optional keyword expansion.
• Custom commands — run named shell commands through fuzzy search or their own global hotkeys.
• Window management — 34 Rectangle-style actions: halves, quarters, thirds, sizing, nudging, display moves, fullscreen and Spaces.
• System actions — lock, sleep, restart, empty trash, toggle appearance, Bluetooth, mute, hidden files, and more.
