Mac launcher with system-wide search, clipboard history and text snippets
A keyboard-first launcher for macOS. Press a hotkey, type a few characters, then open a file, run a search, do a calculation or paste something out of a clipboard history hundreds of items deep. The paid Powerpack layer adds snippets and multi-step workflows, and that is where heavy users spend their time. Mac only.
