Testers needed: macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel)

[Solganis]

Summary

Seekbar includes macOS support (Apple Silicon and Intel), but the platform has not been validated on real hardware. Assistance is needed to verify functionality and identify platform-specific issues.

Scope

Application behavior

• Application launches and renders correctly (frameless window)
• System theme detection (dark / light / auto) functions as expected
• Search returns results and streams them as they are found
• Opening a result reveals / launches it via Finder or the default app
• System tray icon appears and its menu works

Search backend

• Spotlight backend (mdfind) returns expected matches
• Fallback os.scandir walk works when Spotlight is unavailable
• Results across the system volume and mounted volumes (/Volumes)

macOS integration

• Global hotkey Ctrl+Alt+S (Carbon) shows / hides the window
• Autostart toggle (LaunchAgent) registers and launches on login
• Settings panel (F2): accent presets and tray icon apply and persist

Target hardware

• Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4)
• Intel-based Mac

How to participate

1. Get Seekbar - either:
   • Download the latest build from Releases (Seekbar-<version>-macos.tar.xz), extract, and run, or
   • Build from source: uv sync && uv run seekbar
2. Run a few searches with terms you know exist on disk
3. Report findings in this thread: macOS version, hardware (Apple Silicon / Intel), which backend was used (Spotlight vs fallback), search results, and any errors or unexpected behavior. Screenshots are appreciated.
4. If it crashes, launch it from a terminal and paste any traceback.
