What is Airlight?
Airlight is a lightweight browsing tool designed to provide easy access to frequently used web applications on any screen. It functions similarly to the 'spotlight search' feature on Mac devices, allowing users to access applications like 'chatgpt', 'perplexity', GitHub, Twitter, and more without the need to switch between multiple tabs or applications. Airlight is not intended to replace a full-fledged web browser but aims to enhance productivity by consolidating web applications into a single, easily accessible interface. It operates on MacOS 10.3+ and follows a privacy-first approach, storing minimal user data and using Stripe for payment processing to avoid retaining payment information. By pressing the 'option + space' keys, users can show or hide the Airlight interface, making it a convenient tool for seamless access to essential web applications.
