What is Torchsnap?

Torchsnap is a keyboard-driven application launcher for macOS. A single shortcut opens a compact search bar that finds and launches applications, runs system commands, manages your clipboard history, and more.

What makes it different is its gadget system. Gadgets are sandboxed WebAssembly plugins that extend what the launcher can do, from a calculator and emoji picker to custom integrations you build yourself. Each gadget runs in its own sandbox with a deny-by-default permission model, so nothing gets access it didn't ask for.

Torchsnap is open source under the MPL-2.0 license.

No account required. No telemetry. Free forever.
