Open a Mac launcher that stays under 100 MB of memory

Made by Abue Ammar

A keyboard launcher for macOS: one hotkey opens a search box that finds apps, files, clipboard history, snippets, emoji, calculator answers and window-arranging commands.

It is written directly against Apple’s own frameworks with no outside dependencies and no Electron, and the project holds every change to a budget of under 100 MB of memory. It can also run extensions written for Raycast, drawing them as native interface rather than a web view. The project says there is no telemetry and that every AI feature is switched off until you turn it on.

You could use it to…

Open apps and files instantly with one hotkey
Paste your clipboard history into what you're writing
Run a Raycast extension without the extra memory overhead

Can I use this?

Mac app

You'll need A Mac · Ready to use

Worth knowing macOS only, and several features — window management, pasting back into the app you were using, launching things — need accessibility and automation permissions you grant by hand. The feature set is deliberately closed: the contributing guide says requests are declined on the grounds that another launcher has a feature, so it may never add the one you miss. The README states the licence as AGPL-3.0 while GitHub does not recognise the licence file, so read it before reusing the code. BuildTube has not run or verified this software.
