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
