Big news!
I'm launching a tiny Mac app 🥺
🤏
It's called TinyStart, and it's a lightweight Launcher and Emoji picker for macOS!Unlike Spotlight, TinyStart is super fast at showing results and launching apps. It never becomes overcrowded with search results you don't need, and it lets you open URLs, perform web searches with custom search engines, and quickly open folders in Finder.
Oh and yes, I think the Emoji picker is pretty good too. It's everything the default macOS Emoji picker isn't: it's fast, it lets you insert Emojis in any text field, it isn't picky about keywords, and it learns your favorite Emojis over time.
Get TinyStart at https://tinystart.app: it's €5, you pay for it once and future updates are free!
also I made a lil' video to show you what it looks like:
Although I've experimented with Mac development for the past couple of years, this is the first time that I feel like I've made something that's actually pretty good. I hope you'll like it 🫶
+ if you know me, you know that I'm just a trans gal trying to make by with a few pennies in her bank account. So if you wanna help support me, feel free to share the above post and buy my tiny Mac app

@nileane Just out of curiosity, can you have TinyStart launch folders in your favorite file manager?
For instance, I use ForkLift for most everything, and would love to have folders opened from TinyStart directly in ForkLift instead of Finder.

@cliffwade If you do the command line trick Forklift mentions on their website to make their app the default file viewer, it should work! Do let me know if you encounter issues on this front though

@nileane Oh. I'll have to look for that. I'm still very, very new to Mac in general, so I didn't know they had a trick to do that.
I'm purchasing this app as soon as I get home, so thank you for this!

Btw, many thanks to my Mastodon mutuals who have helped me refine the app and squash bugs over the past two weeks. You've been a massive help!
