What is RustCast?

RustCast is a keyboard-first application launcher for macOS that combines app search, calculator, clipboard history, and custom shell script execution in a single hotkey-triggered interface. Built in Rust, it emphasizes speed and offers zero subscriptions or telemetry. The project describes itself as an open-source alternative to Raycast.

Features include instant app search faster than Spotlight, inline calculator, emoji search, unit conversions, web search integration, and customizable themes. Advanced users can define modes to automate workflows—such as presentation mode, dev environment setup, or focus mode—and trigger actions via URL schemes. The app is free, MIT-licensed, and available for macOS.
