SuperCmd is an open-source launcher for macOS that the author frames as a single replacement for Raycast, Wispr Flow, Speechify, AI memory tools, and chat assistants. The user opens it with a keyboard shortcut and gets a search bar that runs commands, fires Raycast-style extensions, dictates speech, reads selected text aloud, manages clipboard history, expands snippets, tiles windows, and talks to AI providers. A central design choice is Raycast extension compatibility. SuperCmd ships shims for the @raycast/api and @raycast/utils libraries so existing Raycast extensions install and run without modification, and it can import encrypted .rayconfig backups that bring settings, hotkeys, extensions, scripts, quicklinks, snippets, notes, and extension preferences across. For features that need deep system access, the project drops out of Electron and calls Swift binaries that talk to native macOS frameworks like ApplicationServices, EventKit, AVFoundation, and Carbon. Highlights from the long feature list include hold-to-speak dictation using Whisper, Parakeet, or the native macOS speech engine; text-to-speech through Edge TTS or ElevenLabs; AI chat against OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, Gemini, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint; an inline AI prompt at the cursor; 24 window-placement commands; a Caps Lock to Hyper Key remapper; file search with protected-roots support; calendar events from EventKit; notes; a freeform canvas; and quick-paste via Cmd+1 through Cmd+9. The stack is Electron 40 in the main process, React 18 with Vite 5 in the renderer, TypeScript 5.3, and Tailwind CSS 3, plus 11 Swift helper binaries and a Swift package for on-device speech-to-text. The repository structure separates the Electron main process, the React renderer, and the Swift native helpers. Install is by Homebrew cask or by downloading the latest signed .dmg from the GitHub Releases page, with separate builds for Apple Silicon and Intel. On first launch the app prompts for Accessibility, Input Monitoring, Microphone, AppleScript Automation, and Calendars permissions. The app updates itself through GitHub Releases.
