Version 2.4.0 — macOS 14+

Everything you do,
one keystroke away.

A launcher for macOS that opens the instant you ask for it. Search your apps, run commands, do arithmetic, convert units, reach your clipboard — without touching the mouse.

Apple silicon & Intel · signed and notarised · 23 themes included

Why it feels different

Built for the keyboard, not adapted to it.

Instant

Summon with a keystroke from anywhere. Results as you type, ranked by what you actually use.

Native

AppKit and SwiftUI, signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarised by Apple. No Electron, no web view.

Yours

No account, no sign-in, no telemetry. Extensions and themes install from a file you chose.

9 extensions

It does more, only when you ask.

On its own Lens searches applications. Everything else arrives as an extension you install deliberately — nothing you did not choose is ever running.

Calculator

Inline arithmetic — type an expression, see the result, Enter copies it.

Clipboard

Clipboard history — every copy is captured, searchable, and pasteable. History is stored unencrypted on this Mac; content apps mark as a password or as transient is never captured. Set how long entries are kept, and clear them individually or all at once.

Conversion

Unit, currency, and timezone conversion — type a quantity or a time, see it converted, Enter copies it. Pin a world clock or currency pair as a floating widget.

Dictionary

Definitions for "define <word>" or a bare word — Enter opens Dictionary.app.

Markets

Live price of a chosen financial instrument — gold, stocks, indices, or crypto. Pin it as a floating widget; ⌘N copies the current price.

Installation

Up and running in under a minute.

Download the latest build using the button above.

  1. Unzip and drag Lens.app to /Applications.

  3. Press ⌥Space to summon Lens.

If you use paste-at-cursor, macOS asks for Accessibility the first time you trigger it. Nothing else needs granting up front.
