It is open source and runs without an account or telemetry. ### What you can do - Find any app by typing a few letters, pin favorites and see which apps are running. - Search files and folders, and keep file and folder favorites. - Browse clipboard history, save snippets, and keep notes in a menu bar item. - Use an inline calculator for math, units, currencies, time zones and dates such as “days till 9 Apr”. - Manage windows with move-to-edge commands and move fullscreen windows between displays. - Run quick AI actions, use dictation with optional start and stop sounds, and insert emoji and symbols. - Extend Tinycast with extensions and deeplinks. ### Privacy and requirements Tinycast runs locally, requires no account and collects no telemetry. It uses under 100 MB of memory and has zero dependencies. Tinycast requires macOS 26 or later and runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. It is released under AGPL-3.0. ## System requirements - macOS 26 or later · Version: 0.12.8 · Apple silicon · · Checked 2026-11-08 - - SHA-256: `22ce1ba191ce0d38473c09cec7ee8525b58ed28535935c67865fb2be5cb0fb4a` - macOS 26 or later · Version: 0.12.8 · Apple silicon · Runs natively · · Checked 2026-11-05 - Version: 0.12.8 · Intel · · Checked 2026-11-05 ## Uninstall - `brew uninstall --cask tinycast` A regular uninstall removes the app and keeps its settings and caches. ### Deep clean (optional) - `brew uninstall --zap --cask tinycast` `--zap` also deletes the settings, caches and other files listed in the Homebrew definition. They can include data shared with other apps and cannot be restored, and it does not guarantee that nothing is left. Back up any data you need first. To keep settings and caches, leave out `--zap`. A regular uninstall removes the app and keeps its settings and caches. - Files and folders: `~/.config/tinycast` — · These entries come from the Homebrew definition, checked 2026-11-08.
