Brief overview
Airlight is a lightweight web app built to speed up your workflow by giving immediate access to apps you use most often. It provides a spotlight-like quick launcher that you summon with the keyboard shortcut Option + Space, so you spend less time switching browser tabs and more time working.
Core behavior
Invoking the interface with the shortcut opens a compact search/launcher panel that you can hide the same way. Because it’s designed to be unobtrusive, you can call it up while you’re in the middle of a task and return to your work without interruption.

Features for developers and power users
Airlight includes a default search driven by Perplexity, making it faster to locate resources or answers. It also supports using ChatGPT directly inside the interface, which is useful for getting code help or drafting text without leaving your current context.
Cost, trial and platform compatibility
Airlight is offered as a one-time purchase and comes with a 7-day free trial so you can evaluate it first. It supports macOS 10.3 and later.
Data handling and privacy
The app prioritizes user privacy: it does not retain user data beyond the minimal information required for licensing.
