Cerebro is an open-source, cross-platform launcher app built with Electron that lets users search the web, launch applications, navigate files, and perform calculations from a single keyboard-driven window. It is extensible through a plugin system with a plugin manager and a simple plugin API.
Use cases
- launch apps and search files from a keyboard shortcut
- search the web without opening a browser
- convert currencies and units inline
- install community plugins to extend the launcher
- build custom plugins for a spotlight-style launcher
- replace Spotlight or Alfred on Linux and Windows
When to choose
- you want a free, open-source cross-platform launcher
- you need an extensible launcher with a plugin ecosystem
- you prefer keyboard-driven productivity tools
When to avoid
- you need a deeply polished commercial launcher like Alfred or Raycast
- you only work on mobile platforms
- you need a launcher with heavy IDE or terminal integration
