Cleat is a native, local-first Mac productivity toolbox with a keyboard launcher. Press ⌘Space to open apps and files, search your clipboard history, snap windows, run calculations and conversions, expand snippets, and chat with a local or cloud assistant. It is built with Swift and AppKit for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 15 or later.
Cleat is built with Swift and AppKit for a native Mac experience. No Cleat account is needed, and your clipboard history, snippets and settings stay on your Mac. Online features connect to their respective services; cloud AI is your choice. Extensions are plain executables in any language that print one JSON object per line, with no SDK or build step. It is free, with no subscription, and it imports snippets from Alfred and Raycast so you can switch without starting over. Compare features with each: getcleat.app/wiki/cleat-vs-raycast, /wiki/cleat-vs-alfred and /wiki/cleat-vs-spotlight.
You need macOS 15 or later and an Apple silicon Mac. Translation and dictation need macOS 26. The assistant also supports a downloadable built-in model, a local model server, or your own cloud API key.
