Keypirinha is a fast, keyboard-driven launcher for Windows that lets users quickly find and launch applications, files, bookmarks, URLs, sessions, and more. It features a plugin-oriented architecture (C++ core with Python 3 plugins), file-driven configuration, and a customizable GUI with a small memory footprint.
Use cases
- launch applications and files by typing a few keystrokes
- search the web or online dictionaries from a launcher
- calculate math expressions and convert number bases on the fly
- switch to a running application by name
- hash strings and generate UUIDs or passwords quickly
- launch PuTTY, WinSCP, or FileZilla sessions from a search box
- extend the launcher with custom Python plugins
- run a portable launcher from a USB stick
When to choose
- you want a fast, lightweight, keyboard-only launcher on Windows
- you need a portable launcher that runs from a USB stick
- you want to extend a launcher with Python-based plugins
- you prefer file-driven configuration and a customizable UI
When to avoid
- you are on macOS or Linux (Windows-only)
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases (last release 2020)
- you want a mouse-first or GUI-heavy launcher experience
- you require an installer and automated update mechanism
