Headless React hook for cmd palettes zero deps, no Provider

use-command-palette launched on February 25, 2026 with 3 votes, #3,486 of 16,627 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches.

What it does

use-command-palette is a headless React hook that gives you everything you need to build a ⌘K command palette state, keyboard navigation, fuzzy search, ARIA attributes, focus management. Every existing library either ships a styled component you have to override, requires a context Provider at the app root, or both. use-command-palette does neither. It's a single `useCommandPalette()` call that returns prop getters you spread onto your own elements.

Headless React hook for command palettes. Zero dependencies, no Provider, no UI. You bring the design, we bring the logic.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
