ara/Wox | Trylle

Latest: v2.4.5 · Sep 2026 · Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Wox is a fully native, open-source launcher for Windows, macOS, and Linux — with GPU rendering on every platform. It is an open-source Raycast / Alfred alternative. Everyday use typically stays around ~150 MB of memory, so it can live in the background without feeling like another heavy desktop app.

Local search, keyboard-first actions, and an extensible plugin system stay in one focused input.

Why Wox

Feature	Description
Fully native	Full native GPU rendering on macOS, Linux, and Windows — not Electron, not a browser shell.
150 MB memory	Built to stay light while idle and during everyday queries, so the launcher can stay resident without taxing the machine.
Keyboard-first	Open apps, find files, run actions, and finish the next step without leaving the input.
Plugin-driven	Start with built-ins, then extend with Node.js, Python, or script plugins from the store.
