[Media] [OS] Fuzzy finding launcher Cross OS, free, open-source forever

Hi there, I’m someone who has used Spotlight extensively;

However, I’ve noticed its performance has dropped recently, sometimes I can’t find the apps I’m looking for, and locating specific files and folders has become particularly difficult.

So I made a keyboard-first, local-first launcher for macOS, Windows, and Linux called Look.
Open apps, files, folders, clipboard history, and quick commands without leaving the keyboard.

Results land as fast as you can type. A Rust core under a native SwiftUI app on macOS,
and Tauri on Windows and Linux, riding the system WebView instead of shipping a browser like Electron does.

No background daemons. Your index, clipboard, and history stay on your machine; no telemetry.

  • Your own sources - declare custom rows from directories, files, and commands
  • lookbook - ready-made sources to copy: git, ssh, docker, projects
