Wox is a fully native, cross‑platform desktop launcher for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It provides fast application launching, file searching, and a rich plugin ecosystem.
Use cases
- quickly open applications or files from the keyboard
- run system commands or custom scripts without leaving the desktop
- capture and annotate screenshots directly from the launcher
- create and manage floating notes without switching apps
- set countdown timers or use offline dictation for voice input
- extend functionality with Node.js, Python, or script plugins
When to choose
- You need a lightweight, native launcher that stays resident with low memory usage
- You work across Windows, macOS, and Linux and want a consistent experience
- You prefer a keyboard‑first workflow and want to avoid Electron‑based launchers
- You want an extensible system with a built‑in plugin store for custom actions
When to avoid
- You require deep integration with a specific ecosystem that only a proprietary launcher provides
- You need a web‑based or cloud‑synced launcher with heavy UI customisation
- Your workflow depends on features not yet available as plugins in Wox
