ZTools is a high-performance, extensible application launcher and plugin platform, an open-source implementation of uTools built with Electron and TypeScript. It offers fast app search with pinyin and regex support, a plugin marketplace, clipboard history management, and theme customization on macOS and Windows.

Use cases

  • launch apps quickly with keyboard shortcuts
  • search apps with pinyin input
  • manage clipboard history with image support
  • install and use productivity plugins
  • extend a launcher with custom plugins
  • open-source alternative to uTools or Spotlight

When to choose

  • you want an open-source uTools-style launcher on macOS or Windows
  • you need a plugin platform with UI and headless plugin support
  • you want fast pinyin-aware app search and clipboard history

When to avoid

  • you need Linux as a first-class supported platform
  • you only need a simple spotlight without plugins
  • you require ecosystem parity with mature launchers like Alfred or Raycast
