Description
from the App Store listing
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.
