Krishna Draws✏️May 28

Masto pals, I’m looking at Mac launcher app recommendations .

I’ve used Alfred and Raycast. Alfred is good, but feels dated. Raycast doesn’t feel native and I am not interested in its AI features.

I need fast app launching and file search. Are there other launchers I should consider? I prefer open source options but will consider a one time payment purchase.

(Spotlight doesn’t cut it.)

@krishnadraws Just stick to Alfred. What about it feels dated?

You can always build new workflows

@Juankprada workflows are nice, but I feel like it may be too much for my use case. The workflow interface still feels a bit overwhelming for me.

The launcher has some customization options, but feels clunky. It would be nice if it had a more modern aesthetic.

I already have Alfred + PowerPack. Just wanted to see if there were other options.

@krishnadraws I think I get what you mean. But honestly I haven’t found anything better. Having said that I think I’m covered for most of my needs with default Alfred plus a couple of extra workflows. So if you need something a bit fancier that that then yeah, Alfred may not be the best option

@Juankprada which Alfred workflows do you use?

@krishnadraws Oh mostly utilities for conversion and bookmarks from browsers (Firefox)

Some for window management. (Alternatives to AltTab and tiling)

I’m not in my Mac right now so I don’t have the names or links. Sorry
