Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 4, Utility: 6)

Chappie is a lightweight macOS desktop search and launcher that replaces Spotlight with enhanced features like quick app launching, file navigation, custom shortcuts, system commands, and a built-in calculator, all in a 2.3 MB package. It offers a practical alternative to Spotlight with additional control capabilities, though it lacks extensive documentation and novelty beyond existing launcher apps.

Target audience: macOS power users
