What is Superhound?

Superhound is a launcher for Mac that takes the place of Spotlight on Cmd + Space. Type a few letters to open apps, files, folders, and System Settings panes. It forgives typos and learns which results you pick.

The same search box also does quick math and unit conversions, finds emoji by name, runs system commands such as Sleep, Lock Screen, and Empty Trash, opens web addresses, and searches the web. A second shortcut opens your clipboard history, which stays on your Mac.

There are no plugins to install and nothing to set up. Superhound is a small native app that works offline. It is free to try with every feature, and a license is a one-time payment that covers 3 Macs.
