    From the README

    The power of Raycast. The speed of Alfred. Privacy by design.

    A fast, open-source launcher for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

    Asyar is built with Tauri + Rust instead of Electron. That means:

    Native performance, web flexibility — Rust does the heavy lifting, Svelte 5 keeps the UI snappy.

    Measured 2026-07-17 on a Apple M4 Max (36 GB RAM), macOS 26.5.2, each app as installed, summoned by its own registered global hotkey, one at a time on a quiet machine. Black-box measurement: synthetic hotkey press → launcher window on screen. Reproduce with benchmarks/bench.sh.

    Don't take our word for it: benchmarks/bench.sh measures Asyar and Raycast (stable and beta) black-box on your own machine — hotkey-to-window latency, cold start, full-process-group memory, idle CPU, and disk size — and regenerates this table with --update-readme.
