How to Replace Alfred, Raycast, and Spotlight with Just One Tool

Tools like Alfred, Raycast, and Spotlight are powerful—but also bloated if you’re just trying to move fast between apps and windows.

If your goal is speed, simplicity, and zero typing, Assignee does everything you need—and faster.


Where Launchers Fall Short

  • You have to type every time
  • You press Enter to confirm
  • Global shortcuts conflict with native app actions
  • No awareness of multiple windows

Assignee: A New Model

  • Press Ctrl + Tab (or custom key)
  • Then a single key or modifier: ⌘ + S, 1, F
  • Jump instantly to a specific app or window
  • No Enter. No typing. Just done.

Example Use Case

Instead of ⌘ + Space → "Notion" → Enter, you just: Ctrl + Tab, N

And you're there.


Final Thought

If you don’t need snippets, clipboard managers, or API scripts, ditch the launchers. Assignee is a minimal, elegant switcher that just works.
