A command palette for your browser
You have Spotlight on your Mac and Ctrl+P in your editor. Your browser has neither. One keystroke opens the same thing on any page. Type what you want, hit Enter.

60+ commands. One keystroke.
Tabs, actions, and tools share a single search bar. Type a few letters, press Enter, stay on the page.
Every developer toolAsk AI
Hit Tab on any question. The answer comes back inline.
Calculator
Type math in the launcher. Units and 35 currencies work the same way.
Sessions
Save a window, restore it anywhere, browse snapshots.
Start from your selection
Highlight text and open the launcher. The tools that work on it come first, already holding it. JSON brings up the JSON tools, a token JWT Decode, a link the URL tools.
Text tools can put the result back. Sort, clean up, or find and replace text you selected in a field, and the result takes its place.
Built for the keyboard
One letter opens a view. One chord selects a handful of rows.

Fewer keystrokes, every day
Give commands words of your own and choose what catches the text nothing else matches.
Your own keyword
Pick a word for a built-in command. Typing it puts that command first.
Pick your fallbacks
Choose what takes your text when nothing matches. Enter runs the top one.
Commands in the address bar
Type “ue”, a space, and a command or quicklink search. Runs without the launcher, even on new tabs.
Say it in one line
Type a quicklink, a snippet or a text tool, then your text, and press Enter.
Favorites
Cmd+K or Ctrl+K on a row, then Add to favorites. They sit at the top.
Quick slots
Up to five commands, each on its own key. Pick them in Settings, set the keys in your browser.
Like Raycast, minus the desktop app
If you use Raycast or Alfred, you already know why launchers win. Your hands stay on the keyboard and the tool comes to you. Desktop launchers live outside the browser and reach in through add-ons. UtilEngine starts inside it.
The launcher opens on the page itself, with your tabs, history, sessions, and selection in reach. Chips above it show the text you selected and what is on your clipboard. Hide it mid-task and a small pill stays on the page so you can pick up where you left off. No desktop app to install, on Windows, Mac, or Linux.
Command palette questions
What is a command palette?
A search bar for actions. Press a shortcut, type a few letters of what you want, hit Enter. Editors like VS Code made the pattern standard; UtilEngine brings it to every page in your browser.
How is this different from Raycast?
Raycast is a desktop launcher, and its browser extension is a companion to that app. UtilEngine runs entirely inside the browser. Nothing to install on the OS, and it works wherever Chrome, Brave, or Edge run, on Windows, Mac, or Linux.
Can I change the keyboard shortcut?
Yes. Alt+Z is the default, and you can rebind it anytime. The shortcuts inside the launcher can be changed too, under Shortcuts in Settings.
Can I act on several tabs at once?
Yes. In Tabs, History, Downloads, Quicklinks, Save Session, or a session, press Cmd+Enter (Ctrl+Enter on Windows) to start a selection and Enter to tick more rows. Cmd+Enter again runs the action on all of them. Shift+Arrow extends the range, Cmd+Shift+A selects all.
Can I run a command without opening the launcher?
Yes. Type “ue” and a space in the address bar, or put the command in a quick slot and press its key.
Can I type my search right after a command?
Yes. Type a quicklink's name, then your search, like “search youtube css grid”, and press Enter. Snippets and AI commands work the same way, with your text in their first blank, and tools that take text open holding it.
Can I give a command my own keyword?
Yes, for most built-in commands. Tabs, History, and others that open on their own letters already have one. Add it next to the command in Settings under Tools, or press Cmd+K (Ctrl+K on Windows) on its row and pick Edit Keyword. Type the keyword in full and that command comes first. Keywords sync to your other browsers.
What happens when nothing matches?
Your fallbacks take what you typed, and Enter runs the top one. They also come first when you type a full question. Out of the box they are Ask AI, Tabs, Manage Quicklinks, and Bookmarks. Change them in Launcher Settings, put them in any order, or add a quicklink like Search Google.
How do I see everything it can do?
Run All Tools, or press Browse All Tools in the toolbar popup. It lists every built-in command, grouped by tool, and you can search it. It also sits at the end of your suggestions.
Does it work on every website?
Yes. The launcher renders in a Shadow DOM, so it never interferes with page styles. On restricted pages like chrome:// URLs, it opens in a standalone tab instead.
Does it slow down my browsing?
No. The launcher stays idle until you press your shortcut, and most commands run entirely in your browser.
Is there a subscription?
No. UtilEngine is $49 once, with a 14-day refund and all future updates included.
