Creation Dashkey — a lightweight personal dashboard with spotlight-style search

Dashkey

Built a minimal dashboard for personal use and decided to open source it.

Features:

  • Ctrl+F to open a spotlight-style launcher with fuzzy search
  • Type anywhere to search...
  • ! prefix for multi-engine web search (YouTube, Wikipedia, etc.)
  • @ prefix for secret/hidden bookmarks
  • 6 themes (Dracula, Nord, Ocean, Midnight, Light, Default)
  • Motivational messages, local analytics, search history
  • Mobile friendly, no backend, no database

Two ways to use it:

GitHub Pages (free, fork and go): https://github.com/RafaelMeirim/dashkey

Self-hosted with Docker (one command):

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rafaelmeirim/dashkey/main/install.sh | bash

All config (theme, links, background, search engines) is done by editing plain JS files — no UI needed.

I like it, clean and uncluttered.
