About Wox
Wox is a fully native, open-source launcher for Windows, macOS and Linux, with GPU rendering on every platform. It is described as an open-source alternative to Raycast and Alfred.
Local search, keyboard-first actions and an extensible plugin system live in one focused input. The README says everyday use stays around 150 MB of memory, so it can run in the background. It suits people who like to open apps, find files and run actions without leaving the keyboard.
Highlights
- Native GPU rendering, not Electron or a browser shell
- Keyboard-first for opening apps, finding files and running actions
- Plugins written in Node.js, Python or scripts
- Plugin and theme stores
- Around 150 MB of memory in everyday use
