The Best macOS Launcher? I Compared Look, Raycast, Alfred and Spotlight (and Look Won)

说明与用途

Look 是一个快速、免费、开源的跨平台启动器，使用本地 AI 并保持所有数据本地化。

问题

Mac users rely heavily on the Cmd+Space launcher, but existing options (Spotlight, Raycast, Alfred) have trade‑offs in speed, privacy, cost, and cross‑platform support.

结果

Look outperforms competitors in speed, privacy, and cross‑platform consistency while offering local AI and built‑in productivity tools.

工作流

• 1. Install Look via Homebrew or download binaries
• 2. Launch with Alt+Space (macOS: Cmd+Space)
• 3. Use natural language queries or built‑in commands (e.g., calc, pomo, todo)
• 4. Add custom sources by dropping TOML files into ~/.look/sources/
• 5. Configure AI settings (Apple Intelligence or Ollama)
• 6. Use control strip shortcuts (Cmd+W for Wi‑Fi, Cmd+B for Bluetooth, etc.)
