Walker is a fast, highly customizable multi-purpose application launcher for Linux built with GTK4 and Rust, designed for Wayland desktop environments. It supports launching apps, running commands, calculations, web searches, clipboard history, and many other providers via its Elephant backend.
Use cases
- launch applications from a keyboard-driven launcher on Wayland
- run shell commands and calculations from a search bar
- search clipboard history and paste previous items
- search the web with custom search engines
- browse and open files quickly
- manage passwords from Bitwarden or 1Password
- search and install Arch Linux packages including AUR
- replace dmenu with a modern GTK4 launcher
When to choose
- you use a Wayland compositor like Niri, Hyprland, or Sway and want a fast launcher
- you want a highly customizable launcher with many built-in providers
- you need dmenu replacement with extra features like clipboard history and bookmarks
When to avoid
- you are on X11 or a non-Linux platform
- you want a zero-dependency launcher without GTK4 and the Elephant service
- you prefer a minimal launcher with no configuration
