Local-First Mac Launcher With Built-In AI (Raycast Alternative)
Native Swift launcher for Mac: apps, windows, screenshots, clipboard and AI chat in one light app; AI can run on-device via Apple Intelligence, Ollama, LM Studio or MLX.
In plain English
SuperCmd is a quick-search bar for the Mac that opens apps, switches windows, takes screenshots and chats with AI in one small program. It keeps your data on your computer and can run its AI fully on the Mac with Apple Intelligence or free local models. If you prefer, you can connect paid AI services instead. People pay once for a license that covers three Macs.

Realistic income
TrustMRR (checked Nov 7, 2026) shows $2,425 in Polar-verified revenue over the last 30 days and $17,903 over its tracked history. Current recurring revenue is $0, so most sales are one-time. This is one operator’s result, often after months or years of work, and doesn’t predict yours. Check the live listing — numbers change.
Risks
- Current recurring revenue is $0; sales are one-time licenses and fell about 62% in the last 30 days.
- Raycast and Apple’s own Spotlight compete directly.
- Requires the newest macOS, which limits buyers.
- Startup cost and time to first dollar are not disclosed.
*Income figures are illustrative ranges based on public pricing and typical outcomes reported by practitioners, not guarantees. Most new online businesses earn little or nothing at first. Not financial, legal or tax advice.
