Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source macOS launcher for keyboard search, calculations, clipboard tools, window commands, and local file conversions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-23 issue.

For: Mac users who want keyboard search and local file conversion
Worth noticing: The site lists 275 conversion pairs across 46 formats; results are written beside the original rather than over it.

Field notes

The file wheel separates conversion, editing presets, and actions: a PDF sample can expose page-organizing tools, while the Control wheel includes AirDrop, copy, move, path, Terminal, and ZIP actions. The site lists conversions across images, audio, video, documents, slides, spreadsheets, subtitles, and archives. It says outputs are placed beside the source rather than overwriting it.
