Lapp
Stay in flow with a tiny, local-first macOS launcher
Lapp is an extremely minimal native macOS launcher and quiet Vibe Coding companion with hotkey app launch, learned ranking, calculator, clipboard history, and web search fallback.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Lapp around a simple frustration: the tiny actions that break focus—opening an app, doing a quick calculation, finding something I just copied, or starting a web search.
Lapp puts those actions behind Option–Space. Type an app name or prefix, an expression, or cb plus a keyword. Press Return and keep moving.
A few design choices matter to me:
A minimal surface instead of another full workspace
Learned ranking for repeated app searches
A native, keyboard-first macOS experience
Local-first behavior with no account, hosted backend, or analytics
Free and open source under the MIT License
Application indexing, learned preferences, calculator evaluation, and plain-text clipboard history stay on your Mac. A query leaves Lapp only when you choose web search.
Lapp v0.1.0 supports macOS 13+. One transparent caveat: the current DMG is ad-hoc signed and not yet Apple-notarized, so macOS may require the quarantine workaround documented on the product page.
I’d love to hear: does Lapp cover the right minimum, and which small action should it make faster next?
Thanks for checking it out 🚀
