Wox is a fully native, open-source, cross-platform desktop launcher for macOS, Linux, and Windows with GPU rendering and low memory usage. It provides keyboard-first app launching, file search, system actions, and an extensible plugin system supporting Node.js, Python, and script plugins.
Use cases
- launch apps from a keyboard shortcut
- search local files quickly
- replace Alfred or Raycast on Windows and Linux
- build custom launcher plugins in Python or Node.js
- access clipboard history and calculator from a launcher
- run web searches and open bookmarks from one input
When to choose
- you want a free, open-source launcher across macOS, Windows, and Linux
- you need a lightweight native launcher rather than an Electron app
- you want to extend a launcher with custom plugins
- you prefer keyboard-driven workflows for everyday tasks
When to avoid
- you need deep macOS-only Alfred or Raycast ecosystem integrations
- you only need a simple app switcher without plugins
- you require a mobile launcher
