Jevcast
A native macOS launcher and window manager. Press Option–Space to open apps, find files, calculate, move windows, and reuse what you copied.
For loose requests such as “make this window bigger,” Jevcast can use Jev by TypeSafe AI to match your words to a known action. This is optional and uses your own API key. The launcher works without it.

- Free and open source under the MIT License.
- Built with SwiftUI and AppKit, with no third-party package dependencies. Runs on macOS 14 or later, on Apple silicon and Intel.
- No Jevcast account or analytics. Core search, clipboard history, and voice run on your Mac.
Install with your agent
Copy this prompt into a coding agent on the Mac where you want Jevcast. The Mac needs Xcode 26 or later and Homebrew to build it.
Install Jevcast from the official source repository:
https://github.com/RyanErkal/jevcast
First check that this Mac can run Xcode 26 or later and has it installed. If
not, report the requirement and stop. Clone the repository and check out its
latest published release tag. If there is no release tag, stop. Verify that `git remote get-url origin`
resolves exactly to `https://github.com/RyanErkal/jevcast.git`. If the checkout
has `scripts/ghosttykit.sh`, install Homebrew's `[email protected]` and Xcode's Metal
Toolchain (`xcodebuild -downloadComponent MetalToolchain`), then run
`scripts/ghosttykit.sh`. Run `swift test` and `scripts/build.sh`. Verify the built app code signature with
`codesign --verify --deep --strict --verbose=2 "dist/Jevcast.app"` and report
the result. After those checks pass, quit any running Jev Launcher or Jevcast.
Back up an existing `/Applications/Jevcast.app` before replacing it, and keep
all preferences and settings. Install the new app at `/Applications/Jevcast.app`
and open it. Do not bypass Gatekeeper or change macOS security settings.
Open the app from Applications. A welcome window helps you choose a shortcut and allow what you need. After that, the app lives in the menu bar. Open Help › Welcome Guide to see the window again.
What you can do
Press Option–Space and type. If another app already uses that shortcut, choose a different one in the welcome window or in Settings.
