Cerebro For Mac

Cerebro aims to help you improve your productivity by delivering quick access to efficient search options and task management tools, while also functioning as a document and app launcher.

The Cerebro utility resembles a lot the Spotlight app that is integrated by default within the operating system: you can activate the search bar with system wide hotkey, and effortlessly navigate the available options by using the arrow keys.

Cerebro puts a small menulet in your status bar that you can use to activate the search bar, or you can employ the default keyboard combination (Control + Space). You get to change the hotkey and even deactivate the status bar menu via the Preferences.

The Cerebro search bar will run queries on your local computer, receive Google suggestions and open new search pages in your default web browser, or translate content to various languages by relying on the Yandex.Translation engine.

Moreover, Cerebro is able to perform mathematical operations or convert between various currencies and other measurement units almost instantly, right there in the search bar.

Besides the core plug-ins, Cerebro brings to the table a collection of custom extensions that you can deploy to your installation with a mouse click. The app provides extensive details in each case and even provides support for the uninstallation procedure.

Worth mentioning is that Cerebro comes with a separate panel for managing plug-ins. At the same time, via the Preferences, Cerebro enables you to switch between the Dark and Light interface themes or activate the developer mode.

The best part is that the developers provide the plugins documentation on the GitHub project page, so you can start creating plug-ins better fitted to your needs.

Cerebro delivers a streamlined solution both for searching information online and for launching applications. The app comes with a collection of core plug-ins that can deal with translation and conversion tasks, or perform mathematical operations.

You get to extend the Cerebro capabilities either by installing one of the built-in custom plug-ins or by developing new extensions suitable for performing other types of actions.
