Gocast

One key. Apps and terminal, right there.

Gocast is a small launcher for the Mac. Press ⌘Space to find and open an app. Press ⌃` and a terminal drops down from the top of the screen, already in your folder, running your command.

A terminal that drops down

It floats above every app. Hiding it stops nothing: your commands keep running. Presets open a folder and run a command, like pi in your project.

⌃⌘V

Clipboard history

Find the text, links, images and files you copied before, and paste into the app you were in. Pin the ones you use often.

⌘Space

Math and currencies

Type (12+8)*3, 10 ft in m or 100 usd in jpy in the search panel. The answer shows up on top.
