Look

About

Look is a keyboard-first, local-first launcher for macOS. It lets you open apps, files, folders, clipboard history, and quick commands without leaving the keyboard. On macOS it runs a Rust core under a native SwiftUI app. Your index, clipboard, and history stay on your machine, and the app has no telemetry.

Look is free and open source under GPLv3, with no paid tier and no account required. It is available through Homebrew (`brew install --cask look`) and Nix (Apple Silicon only). Release builds are signed and notarized, and separate builds are published for Apple Silicon and Intel. Homebrew installs the one that matches your Mac.

To use Look with Cmd+Space, disable Spotlight's shortcut in System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Spotlight, then bind Cmd+Space to Look. You can also choose a different shortcut with `launcher_hotkey` in `~/.look/config`.
