Ueli is a cross-platform keystroke launcher for Windows, macOS, and Linux built with Electron, TypeScript, React, and Fluent UI. It lets users quickly search and launch applications, files, and other items via a hotkey-triggered search window with extensible plugins.

Use cases

  • launch apps with a hotkey like alt+space
  • search files and programs quickly from keyboard
  • spotlight alternative for windows and linux
  • extend launcher with custom extensions
  • favorite frequently used search results
  • open calculator and web searches from a command bar

When to choose

  • you want a free, open-source, cross-platform launcher on Windows, macOS, or Linux
  • you prefer a keyboard-driven workflow to open apps and files
  • you want an extensible launcher with plugin/extension support

When to avoid

  • you need signed/notarized binaries and cannot bypass OS security warnings
  • you only need a launcher on a platform Ueli does not support
  • you want a deeply integrated native launcher like macOS Spotlight or PowerToys Run
