Overview

Starcat provides open companion projects so you can search local Stars / repositories and GitHub without leaving your launcher of choice: These are separate repositories from the main Starcat app. Install from each project’s README.

Typical capabilities

Exact commands differ by launcher, but the product intent is the same:
  1. Query Starcat’s local library on this Mac
  2. Fall back to or combine with GitHub search when useful
  3. Open a hit in Starcat (often via starcat://… deep links)

Prerequisites

  • Starcat running (or recently used) so local search data / pairing is available when the extension requires it
  • Follow each project’s setup for permissions, keywords, and macOS privacy prompts
