FEATURES // 06
Everything Spotlight did, and the parts it didn’t.
FTR-01
Your apps, a few letters away
Prefix, initials or any word: saf, vsc, code. It learns what you pick for each query.
FTR-02
Conversions without the cloud
Length, mass, temperature, data sizes, speed and number bases. Instant and local. ⏎ copies.
FTR-03
A calculator, too
Type the expression, including percentages. Press Enter to copy the answer.
FTR-04
Know exactly what Enter will do
System One commands show the filled-in action before it runs, not a vague command name.
FTR-05
Ask about what you’re looking at
Selected text, page text and the source window come along when you ask about “this”, and you can see and control what gets shared.
FTR-06
Paste an image. Ask Space.
⌘V attaches up to four images and hands the request to System Two. Add a question, then send.

Fast when it can be. Smart when it has to be.
Every keystroke goes to a small model on your Mac first. Only real requests reach an agent, and that agent runs on the plan you already pay for.
SYS-1 // InstantOn-device
System One
Snap 1 is a small decision model that runs on this Mac, in roughly 16–25 ms.
- Ranks search. It reads the query and the top matches and decides whether you want an app, a document, a command, a web search or the agent. Its pick gets a ✦.
- Runs commands. “Volume 40”, “next song”, “timer 10 minutes” and the front app’s menu commands run in a blink, with no LLM involved.
- Learns. When a task finishes using simple commands, Make this instant lets System One replay it directly from then on.
SYS-2 // AgentBring your own plan
System Two
Space, the agent, runs on the harness you pick. No keys are stored; it signs in through each CLI.
Claude Code ↗Your Claude plan, from logging in to claudeDriven in SDK streaming mode, one process per conversation.
Codex ↗Your ChatGPT plan, from codex loginDrives codex app-server. Read-only commands Codex already knows run straight away.
opencode ↗ChatGPT login, an API key, or a local modelRuns as a background service, installed by the setup script.
MODES // ⇧⇥ to switch
You decide how much the agent does on its own, per harness or per conversation.
- 01PlanLooks around and proposes a plan without changing anything.
- 02Ask firstAsks before every command and edit. The default.
- 03Accept editsFile edits go through without asking.
- 04AutoClaude Code’s auto mode, or Codex in its sandbox.
- 05Full accessNever asks.
PRIVACY // Local first
Your Mac stays yours.
Search
Runs on this Mac: Spotlight’s index, the app list and Snap 1. App and file names never leave it.
Speech
Transcribed on-device. Audio never leaves the computer.
Screen
Context stays local until you send a relevant question or attach it yourself. No screenshot files are saved.
Agent
Sees what you ask and, for “this” requests, what you were looking at. It goes only to the model you chose.
Keys
Never stores a key for Codex or Claude Code, and strips API-key variables before launching them.
Tracking
None. No analytics, no account, no cookies on this page either.
INSTALL // Three steps
Up and running in a minute.
- 01Download 0.4.2 ↓
Download and drag to Applications
The app isn’t notarized yet, so macOS blocks the first launch. Right-click it → Open → Open, or run:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Command Space.app"New versions install themselves.
- 02
Pick your agent
For Claude Code or Codex, install and sign in to that CLI, then choose it in Settings → System Two. Nothing else is needed. For opencode, run:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/otron-io/command-space/main/agent/setup.sh | zsh - 03
Let the first-run guide do the rest
It takes ⌘Space from Spotlight (Settings → General → Give back to Spotlight undoes it), walks through permissions, downloads Snap 1 and imports any Notch Agent settings.
