The open source launcher for macOS.

Features · Building · Discord · TODO · Acknowledgments

• One hotkey opens apps and commands, ranked by how often and how recently you use them.
• Runs Raycast extensions unmodified, including the ones Raycast has already installed, on a Bun runtime that ships inside the app.
• Searches the menu bar's items and opens their menus from the keyboard. Recently opened items come first, items in view get a preview, and you can give any item your own name.
• Extension forms, preferences and arguments work. Passwords go in the Keychain.
• Apps, commands and the menu bar search can each have an alias and a hotkey. Favorites stay at the top.
• When a command throws, crashes or hangs, Floe shows the log and lets you run it again.
• Built on ThawUI, the design system from Thaw, for macOS 26 and later.
