Tinycast — A tiny, native macOS launcher that stays out of your way
Everything you reach for, one hotkey away — without giving up your RAM.
Tinycast is a fully native macOS launcher built with SwiftUI and AppKit. It brings apps, files, clipboard history, snippets, quicklinks, window management, notes, calendar, emoji, AI and more into one fast command palette.
And it stays under 100 MB of RAM.
No Electron. No telemetry. No subscription. No third-party dependencies.
Why Tinycast?
I wanted the convenience of a modern launcher without giving up a noticeable amount of memory. Tinycast focuses on the things you actually use every day:
🚀 App launcher with fuzzy search
📋 Clipboard history for text and images
🔎 File search powered by Spotlight
⌨️ Global and per-app hotkeys
🪟 34 Rectangle-style window actions
📝 Unlimited Markdown notes
🧩 Snippets, quicklinks and custom commands
📅 Calendar and one-key meeting joining
😀 Searchable emoji picker
🤖 AI Chat with BYOK support
✨ AI actions like rewrite, translate, summarize and fix grammar
🌈 Run existing Raycast extensions natively with SwiftUI
💾 Backup and Raycast import
Built for the Mac
Tinycast isn't a web app wrapped in a desktop shell. It's built with SwiftUI + AppKit and Apple's native APIs.
Free and open source. No paid tier, no feature unlocks, and AI features are off by default. Tinycast is built and maintained mostly by a single developer and the help of a growing community, a strict focus on performance and keeping the app lightweight enough to run all day.
If you're looking for a free, open-source and lightweight alternative to Raycast Pro, give Tinycast a try.
One hotkey. Everything you reach for. Tiny by design.

Genuinely impressed you pulled off a Raycast-style launcher in 3 MB without Electron, that takes real discipline. One thing I'd love: a quick text snippet/expander built in, so I can type something like ;email and have my address paste in. Alfred users live on that and it would make Tinycast feel complete without adding much weight.
@earlsweatshirt hey it is already available!
love that you kept it under 3 mb and skipped electron entirely, that's a real commitment to keeping macos feeling like macos. the no account, no telemetry thing is honestly refreshing to see baked in from day one.
@devon_fei thanks a lot! i will continue polishing it
