Anyrun is a Wayland-native, krunner-like launcher/runner built in Rust with GTK4 layer shell. It is highly customizable via GTK4 CSS styling and an easy plugin system where plugins only need to implement a few functions.

Use cases

  • launch applications on wayland
  • search and run commands from a floating overlay
  • customizable krunner alternative for wayland
  • extend a launcher with custom plugins
  • clipboard and symbol lookup from a runner

When to choose

  • you use Wayland and want a native, lightweight launcher
  • you want deep visual customization with GTK4 CSS
  • you want to write your own runner plugins with minimal boilerplate

When to avoid

  • you are on X11 without Wayland support
  • you want a batteries-included launcher without configuring plugins
  • you need a cross-platform launcher for macOS or Windows
