Only for Mac

Mac

Summon a floating Google search bar on top of any app in an instant, with Lantern. Do some quick research with high-quality Google search results, or dive deeper and open websites - all without leaving your workspace. Lantern helps you get things done faster. Answer questions, find sources, and more in a fraction of the time it takes in your browser. Because Lantern floats above your work, it also helps you maintain your train of thought - as we've all been distracted countless times after leaving our workspaces to open a browser. All it takes to open Lantern is a simple keyboard shortcut: Option + Space (or one of your choice!). You can also set Lantern to launch automatically at login, to ensure it's ready to go when you need it. Lantern offers a substantial upgrade over your browser and built-in search tools, while being far cheaper than others like it. # Key Features: + Lantern floats above whatever app is open, even in full-screen. + Search the web in an instant with high-quality Google results. + Open full websites from within the Lantern window. + Summon Lantern quickly by hitting Option+Space, or a keyboard shortcut of your choice. + Copy results back into your work. + Choose to open Lantern at log-in. # Privacy: Lantern is privacy-focused. I, the developer, do not collect data from the app. By using Google search, you're subject to their privacy policy. # Credits: Background video in App Store preview: Made by Kiryl Balbatunou, hosted on Vecteezy. http://bit.ly/4keFjwn Song in App Store preview: 'sumu - apart', hosted on NoCopyrightSounds. http://ncs.io/apart
