# Tinycast for Mac

> A small open-source launcher that stays light.

Tinycast opens apps, searches clipboard history, expands snippets, does math and unit conversions and moves windows from one palette. Features stay off until you enable them, and AI actions work with Apple Intelligence or your own keys. It needs macOS 26.
