Profile

Hi HN,I built Sliprail, a launcher for macOS and Windows. It serves as an alternative to tools like Raycast or Alfred, but with a different philosophy regarding interaction design and UI architecture.My engineering focus has been on ensuring minimal input latency and a snappy response.Here are a few notable differences:Space-Driven Arguments: Instead of menu navigation, Sliprail uses the Space key. Type a command (e.g., google), hit Space, and type your arguments (e.g., weather) instantly.Detached Interfaces: Extensions run in standalone windows rather than being confined to the main launcher bar. This enables richer interfaces for tools like File Search or MCP integrations.Window Management

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

The company is listed at the Show HN launch stage of development.
