Rofi is a popup window switcher, application launcher, and dmenu replacement for Linux. It presents a searchable textual list of options for launching apps, switching windows, running SSH sessions, or selecting items from external scripts, with theming and plugin support.
Use cases
- launch applications from the keyboard on i3 or another Linux window manager
- switch between open windows quickly
- replace dmenu in my window manager setup
- build a custom menu driven by a shell script
- create an SSH launcher or power menu
- add a fuzzy-searchable command palette to my desktop
When to choose
- you use a tiling or minimal window manager on Linux and want keyboard-driven launching
- you need a scriptable, themable dmenu replacement
- you want one tool for window switching, app launching, and custom menus
When to avoid
- you need a full application menu or dock with icons and categories
- you are on Windows or macOS
- you want a GUI toolkit or library to embed in your own application
