## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: gui, search-engine, plugin-system, cli
- domain: desktop-applications, developer-tools
- platform: rust
