Verve / RUST · SVELTE · TAURI
Your files, a keyboard shortcut away.
Verve is an open-source macOS launcher for applications, files and documents. A Rust backend and a Svelte interface meet in a lightweight Tauri desktop app.
A small interface for a frequent task
A launcher is something you reach for repeatedly throughout the day. Verve brings application, file and document search into a keyboard-driven interface. The documented default shortcut is Command + Shift + G, with an option to change it in preferences.
Rust underneath, Svelte on screen
Verve uses Tauri to connect its Rust backend to a Svelte frontend. The repository contains both parts of the application, so contributors can work on the search behavior and the interface together. This is a desktop project you can explore, build and adapt.
Make it your own
The app stores its theme in a local theme.json file. The repository's theme guide explains how to customize it and apply changes by restarting the app. Release downloads are available as DMG files; check the release notes and open issues for the current state of the project.
An open-source project
Verve is available under the GNU Affero General Public License, with source code, build instructions and an issue tracker on GitHub. Features listed as upcoming in the repository should be treated as proposals rather than shipped functionality.
