This looks awesome! I’m excited to try it out.

Loved Quicksilver back in the day.

After Quicksilver, I went to LaunchBar, a fine app. It seemed to lose momentum after a while… I tried going built-in with Tahoe's upgraded Spotlight, a big improvement compared to the original. But it wasn’t enough.

I resisted Raycast since it seemed like the Mac bloggers and podcasters were using it. But I finally gave in.

Now after giving Tuna a try, I realize what's been missing since Quicksilver: some whimsy; a Mac-assed[1] launcher. As capable as Raycast is, it has no personality; it’s just a tool. It's not fun to use.

Compared to the others, Tuna is fun to use. It looks right at home on the Mac.

Never forget! I've dm'ed with and shown Tuna to Alcor and he's been kind enough to bless both the app and my efforts. Great guy
