Good to see something like this, don't forget there is already an open source alternative (pre-existing) for Alfred and Raycast. It's called Quicksilver - https://qsapp.com.

The “launcher” space on MacOS is so vibrant (see threads on Quicksilver, et al.). When I took a job at a Windows shop, I was shocked how poor the market is for similar tools. It really made me appreciate the Mac indie dev market. I (jokingly) spam my Windows colleagues on a private slack channel whenever unique apps appear, such as: https://retina.studio/textbuddy/ https://cleanshot.com/ https://reeder.app/ (No affiliation. Only one is newish, but these were good examples of great Mac software.) Or any other number of slick tools.

Keypirinha

A lightning fast and flexible keystroke launcher for Windows. No installation required (portable).
Pricing:
- Open Source
I shared the exact same sentiment when I transitioned to Windows after a long period of only using macOS. I eventually began building a launcher myself using C# and over time it has become my daily driver. Feel free to check it out at https://github.com/dkgv/pinpoint, PRs welcome :-) A few other nice candidates I found include: - Keypirinha: https://keypirinha.com/ - Wox: https://github.com/Wox-launcher/Wox - ueli: https://github.com/oliverschwendener/ueli.
