Quickcast

Side project

macOS

A tiny, fully native macOS launcher, forked from Tinycast

One hotkey for everything I reach for all day, in under 100 MB of RAM. Quickcast is SwiftUI and AppKit with zero third-party dependencies and no telemetry, and it runs real Raycast extensions rendered as native SwiftUI. It launches apps, searches files and screenshots, keeps clipboard history, does math and conversions, runs snippets, quicklinks and Apple Shortcuts, and manages windows.
