Supacast

Supacast is a cross-platform launcher built with Tauri 2 + React + TypeScript. It lives quietly in your menu bar / system tray, opens with a single global shortcut, and lets you search and launch apps, files, todos, notes, clipboard history and calendar events — plus an AI agent you can chat with.

Features

• 🚀 Lives in the menu bar / system tray (rocket icon) — no dock icon on macOS
• 🔍 Global app search — macOS .app bundles, Windows Start Menu shortcuts
• 📁 Global file search — macOS Spotlight (mdfind), Windows user-folder scan
• ✅ Todos & reminders with due dates — overdue todos re-notify on a configurable interval until done, and reminders missed while the app was closed are caught up on launch
• 📝 Notes with instant search — expand a row to read the full note
• 📋 Clipboard history — everything you copy is one search away, with a one-keystroke clear clipboard command
• 📅 Calendar — view and create events straight from the launcher
• 🎙️ Dictate — voice-to-text with paste into any app (or straight into the agent)
• 🤖 AI agent — multi-turn chat with streamed output and web search (bring your own API key)
• ⌨️ Global shortcut ⌘ + ⇧ + Y (macOS) / Ctrl + ⇧ + Y (Windows) — customizable from Settings
• 🔄 Launch at login — starts automatically with your system after install
• Blur-to-hide, keyboard-first navigation (↑↓ navigate, ↵ open, Esc hide), and a built-in command reference on the empty launcher

Install

macOS / Linux

curl -fsSL https://supacast-omega.vercel.app/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell)

powershell -c "irm https://supacast-omega.vercel.app/install.ps1 | iex"

The scripts download the latest release from GitHub Releases, install it (/Applications on macOS, the NSIS installer on Windows), and Supacast will launch automatically every time your system boots.

See the installation guide for manual installs and Linux packages.

Build from source

Documentation

Full docs — shortcuts, settings, dictate, the AI agent and troubleshooting — live at supacast.vercel.app/docs.

Settings

Stored in the OS app-data directory (settings.json) and editable from the tray menu → Settings. The default shortcut uses CmdOrCtrl+Shift+Y, which maps to Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows automatically.
