A solo developer releases moo, an open-source macOS launcher built with native AppKit rather than Electron.

The developer, who posts as spacedevin on X, says they built it because Spotlight was slow. One hotkey searches apps, files, math, clipboard, windows, and AI, according to the launch post.

The app is free and installs through Homebrew with brew install moomoi/moo/moo. The only report so far is the developer's own X post, which makes these claims without independent testing.
