What is Tinycast?
A tiny, fully native macOS launcher — the essentials, without the bloat.
Around 3 MB on disk and under 100 MB of RAM — no Electron, no telemetry, no background CPU churn. Just SwiftUI + AppKit with zero dependencies. It's fast because there's nothing to it.
Features:
- App launcher — fuzzy-search and launch anything, pin favorites, see what's running.
- Calculator — do math and unit conversions inline, right in the palette.
- Clipboard history — text and images, searchable, pasted back into the app you were using.
- Global hotkey — one shortcut summons the palette from anywhere.
- Per-app hotkeys — bind a key to an app; press it to toggle (focus/hide).
