How it works
Three keystrokes between you and anything
Sevak waits quietly in the background and appears where you are working the moment you call it.
1
Call it
Press Win Space on Windows, Cmd Space on macOS or Super Space on Linux (or your own shortcut; copies that are already installed keep the shortcut they have). The search bar opens on the screen you're using.
2
Type
A few letters of an app or file, a sum like 12*7, or a keyword such as g for Google.
3
Act
Enter launches, opens or copies. Ctrl K shows every action. Sevak hides and you keep working.
Features
Everything, one shortcut away
Built-in features cover the everyday jobs. Each one is a plugin you can switch off, and you can add your own.
Calculator & conversions
Answers as you type, and Enter copies them. Units of length, weight, temperature, data and more. Currency rates are optional.
12*75 km in mi72°F to CWeb search
Short keywords for Google, YouTube and GitHub. Add any site with a {query} URL.
g rust traitsytghFiles & folders
Finds files in the folders you choose, and browses any path as you type, with Tab to complete.
f report~/Downloads/Browser bookmarks
Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, Firefox and more, merged across browsers and profiles.
b recipesClipboard history
Search and paste anything you copied earlier. Off until you turn it on, and stored only on your computer.
cbSnippets
Paste saved text such as signatures and replies, with placeholders like {date} and {clipboard}.
s sigSystem & shell
Lock, sleep, restart or empty the trash, with a confirmation for anything destructive. Run commands in your terminal.
locksleep> git statusUniversal Actions
Select text in any app and press Ctrl Alt Space: search it, change its case, encode or decode it, or show it in Large Type.
Script plugins
Extend Sevak with Python, Node.js or PowerShell scripts. Understands the Script Filter JSON format used by Alfred.
Make it yours
Light, dark or system theme, your accent colour, fonts, custom CSS, and global hotkeys for any search or action.
Private by design
Searching apps and files, calculations and ranking all run on your computer. Nothing is collected about you.
Why Sevak
Small, quick and respectful of your machine
The same launcher on every computer you use, and it stays out of your way.
Instant
Built in Rust with Tauri. Results update with every keystroke, and Sevak waits in the background so it appears right away.
Learns your habits
What you open often and recently rises to the top, and Sevak remembers which result you picked for each search.
Truly cross-platform
Windows 10 and 11, macOS 11 and later, and Linux on both X11 and Wayland, including GNOME's Wayland session.
Your data stays yours
No account and no telemetry. Sevak only goes online when you run a web search, check for updates (optional), or turn on currency rates.
A closer look
Designed to disappear
A single search bar that grows only as much as it needs to, with a Settings window for everything else.
f and a few letters of the name
Marketplace
Add tools, searches and themes
Workflows, script plugins, native extensions and themes, reviewed in the open. Each listing says whether it runs code, and Sevak checks every download against a published SHA-256 before it saves anything.
Developer search
Search Stack Overflow, MDN, crates.io, npm and PyPI from the launcher.
so mdn crate npmPassword generator
Random passwords, PINs and tokens, made on your computer. Runs a script after you allow it.

A soft dark theme with mauve accents, checked for readable contrast. Runs no code.
Appearanceसेवक
The name
Sevak (सेवक) means one who serves.
That's the whole design brief. It appears when you call it, does what you ask, and gets out of the way. The flame-and-lamp logo carries the same idea: readiness to help, and a light to work by.
