Syllo workflows and tradeoffs
In Syllo, open the launcher to find apps, files, settings, notes and clipboard items, then use the Shelf or capture tools from the same notch. Supported coding agents use your own configured account. The launcher guide and Agent guide explain those workflows.
Tinycast is a free, open-source Mac launcher with clipboard, window and extension features of its own. Syllo is a paid notch toolkit with a Windows x64 build as well as Apple Silicon support. It does not import Tinycast or Raycast extensions; if an extension is essential, check compatibility before changing launchers.
Explore Syllo for Windows or Syllo for Mac for platform features, requirements and downloads.
Which to choose
- For a free launcher on a Mac, including an Intel Mac, Tinycast already does the job.
- For Windows, or for a launcher that works with a file shelf, capture and coding agents, try Syllo.
