Hi, I built a small productivity utility called Lantern, an app that allows you to search Google and open full websites without leaving your workspace, with a simple keyboard shortcut.

Problem

I wanted a simple utility where I could do quick research while I was working or finishing a school assignment. Switching into my browser often broke my train of thought or got me distracted for sometimes 30 minutes at a time, so I needed to build something for myself with the ease of Spotlight and the power of real web search.

Comparison

Lantern may feel familiar to Spotlight on first glance. However, try to use it for anything web-related and you'll find Spotlight's basically useless for web research. At most it might dig up something from your emails or show a single barely-related link. Lantern, though, reveals Google results and lets you navigate into websites - all still on top of your workspace.

Pricing

Lantern is just $2.99 USD on the Mac App Store, and I've also left ten free promo codes in the comments. It's been a massive productivity boost for me, and it's got some great reviews so far, so you can give it a try with confidence!

I'm looking for feedback on how I could better position the app on the App Store, along with general comments about the app itself.
