Although I've experimented with Mac development for the past couple of years, this is the first time that I feel like I've made something that's actually pretty good. I hope you'll like it 🫶

Check out SetApp by MacPaw — good exposure, apportioned “milk check” (uncles were dairy farmers).I get my feet wet with setapp. If used frequently like Commander One, I subscribe.

I'm launching a tiny Mac app 🥺
🤏
It's called TinyStart, and it's a lightweight Launcher and Emoji picker for macOS!Unlike Spotlight, TinyStart is super fast at showing results and launching apps. It never becomes overcrowded with search results you don't need, and it lets you open URLs, perform web searches with custom search engines, and quickly open folders in Finder.
Oh and yes, I think the Emoji picker is pretty good too. It's everything the default macOS Emoji picker isn't: it's fast, it lets you insert Emojis in any text field, it isn't picky about keywords, and it learns your favorite Emojis over time.
Get TinyStart at https://tinystart.app: it's €5, you pay for it once and future updates are free!
also I made a lil' video to show you what it looks like:
@nileane very snappy and well done. It replaced Spotlight for me.
Was a long time Launchbar user but some indexing rules kept crashing so I switched back to Spotlight. But the results were often not spot on.

@StewartLynch @lwdupont They don't, however settings are stored in a plain text file located at: ~/.config/tinystart/settings.toml
You should be able to copy that file between devices (or just the specific lines inside that you wanna transfer over)

@nileane @lwdupont It would be nice if you could somehow choose the location of the settings file so that it could be shared between devices. (I am not complaining about the app, I love it). I am just looking for more flexibility, but I think I can mak this work as both of my Mac have similar apps and folders. Links of course would be universal so if you update on one, you would have to update on the other so that is less optimal. Scope creep is a dangerous thing

@nileane This looks really nice, congrats. I did notice a small issue with the Emoji picker: Enter does not work to insert for me, but ⌘C to copy does work. Perhaps this is because I am still on Sequoia? Also a lot of the math symbols seem to be missing, or is that deliberate?

@nileane You could make an "export settings" function (and import, of course my
). Just to make things easier for people that use multiple devices -
