About the project

A fully native macOS launcher with a global hotkey, clipboard history, file search, calculator, notes, and support for running Raycast extensions. Built in SwiftUI and AppKit with zero third-party dependencies, using under 100 MB of RAM.

Useful for
  • Launch apps and open files via fuzzy search with a single global hotkey.
  • Find previously copied text or images in clipboard history and paste them back.
  • Reuse existing Raycast extensions by running them natively inside Tinycast.

2.6 Breakout Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 2, 2026, 19:22 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

07501,500August 5, 2026November 2, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 00:12–19:10: 8995 → 9048 stars (+53). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +65 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Over the last two days the pace is 2.6× that of the previous week and a half.
  • About 6 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 202. +23% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Star growth looks organic. The magnitude is lowered, not zeroed:

  • Hardly anyone watches for updates: 10 watchers for 9,048 stars.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
