## What it is
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
