The Kensa icon: a small robot holding a magnifying glass.

Kensa

A minimal, fast command palette for macOS.

One hotkey summons a search field. Launch apps, open quicklinks, do quick math, reshape the window you are in. Then it gets out of the way.

Coming soon Download for macOS

Not released yet. Kensa will be a signed, notarized download for macOS 27 or later.

Summon it with ⌥ Space

App launcher

Fuzzy search over everything installed. It learns which app you actually open, so the right one wins.

Quicklinks

Short aliases for the sites you live in, with a query you can type straight into the search field.

Calculator

Math and unit conversion inline in the palette. The answer is there while you are still typing.

Window actions

Center the focused window, or fill its screen minus a margin. Two things, used constantly.

No accounts, no sync, no plugin store, no telemetry, no API key to paste. It asks for no permissions at all until you switch on the features that need one.
