Tuna
Tuna is a modern application launcher for macOS, built natively in Swift, inspired by the classic Quicksilver. It offers four input modes — Fuzzy, Leader, Text, and Talk — allowing users to search, launch, and control applications and files using different keyboard-driven workflows. The app supports third-party extensions, runs natively on Apple Silicon, and requires macOS 15 Sequoia or newer. Tuna is available as a free version with soft limitations and a one-time purchase option for full functionality, positioning itself as an alternative to subscription-based launchers.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionTuna is built natively in Swift for Apple Silicon and requires macOS 15 Sequoia or newer, which means it has no Intel build to migrate from — your Mac is either running on a recent native version of macOS with a native Tuna installation, or you have not yet installed it. If you are currently running an older macOS release (before Sequoia) and are considering whether to move to Tuna, the good news is there is no compatibility risk: the app is actively maintained, modern, and will continue working after Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027) because it ships as a native build only. Simply download the latest version from releases.tuna.am/desktop/latest/ to get the Universal Binary dmg file, or use the installation script at releases.tuna.am/desktop/get.sh.
