Keybam, the Launcher That Refuses to Grow

keybam.com Observed source

Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A tiny macOS launcher for naming and opening saved URLs, files, and apps from one folder.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

Keybam stores named URL shortcuts as .webloc files in the fixed folder ~/conflocal/urls, then searches their filenames with a fuzzy matcher. The page identifies Swift, AppKit, and Carbon hotkeys as implementation components and limits the workflow to two global shortcuts: ⌥I for saving and ⌥U for opening. It also states that the download has no account, sync, preferences, database, menu bar icon, or Dock icon.
