Look

A keyboard-first, local-first launcher for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Open apps, files, folders, clipboard history, and quick commands without leaving the keyboard.

Why Look?

If you're tired of slow launchers or expensive tools like Raycast, Look is a free, lightweight alternative that stays out of your way.

• Local-first - all indexing happens on your machine
• Fast - typical search under 1 ms on a 2000-item index, with bounded query-time scoring
• Usage-aware - results improve as you use them
• Minimal permissions - no Accessibility, Full Disk Access, or Screen Recording
• Private - no account, no telemetry; network only on explicit or opt-out actions
• Native shells - SwiftUI on macOS, Tauri v2 on Windows/Linux, both over one Rust engine
