Instant answers
Cleat answers sums, unit conversions, colours, time zones, timestamps and dictionary lookups in the first row of the palette, and Return copies the result.
Some queries are answered rather than searched. The answer is the first row and Return copies it.
Calculator
Any expression with a number and an operator: 12.5 * 8 + 3, (240 * 1.21) / 4, 2^10, 15%, 2pi. Implicit multiplication works, so 2pi and 3(4+1) both evaluate.
Units
12 km to mi, 72f in c, 3 cups, 5 gb to mb, 90 mph in kph. Leave the target off and Cleat shows the usual alternatives for that kind of unit. Supported: length, mass, temperature, volume, data (decimal and binary), duration, speed, pressure and energy. Conversions use Foundation’s unit types, so the numbers match what the rest of macOS would say.
Colours
#ff8800, #f80, rgb(255,136,0). You get hex, RGB, HSL and a SwiftUI Color literal, each with a swatch, each one row you can copy.
Time zones
time in tokyo, tokyo time, 3pm in london, 15:30 to nyc. Cities resolve to their time zone; the row shows the time, the day, the zone abbreviation and the offset from where you are. The second form converts a specific time, which is what you want when someone proposes a meeting.
Dictionary
define serendipity, or def and dict. Definitions come from the system dictionary, so they work offline and in whichever languages you have installed.
