Sol is an open-source macOS launcher and command palette (cmd-k style) built natively with React Native. It offers app search, clipboard management, window management, calendar integration, custom scripts, and many quick utilities with minimal configuration.
Use cases
- launch apps quickly on macos with a cmd-k palette
- replace raycast or alfred with an open-source launcher
- manage clipboard history on mac
- run custom scripts and applescript commands from a palette
- search and switch windows on macos
- quickly generate uuids, nanoids, or format
- show upcoming calendar events in the menu bar
- pick emojis quickly
When to choose
- you want a free, open-source spotlight/raycast alternative on macOS
- you want a fast native launcher with minimal configuration
- you need built-in clipboard, window management, and script running in one tool
When to avoid
- you need a launcher on Windows or Linux
- you rely on deep plugin ecosystems like Raycast or Alfred extensions
- you need highly customizable theming and configuration
