Lots of Plug-ins though the Weather plugin told me "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs"
Prettier than wox or keypirinha but doesnt even find the cmd you need to write "command" it also doesnt find it also with vscode you need to write "visual" instead of vs with is much easier it also doesnt find windows store apps like mail and calendar. Would be the best launcher if it would have those fixed but its discontinued :(
Well, then it's not for me. Thanks for point it out. I don't understand why so many launchers are missing proper fuzzy search and 'weighted learning' based on 'frecency'. Launchbar for Mac is the app to try and match. Alfred and Quicksilver never came close to its powerful search. Now, for Windows, I don't really know which one comes closest to Launchbar in this regard (fuzzy search).

Latest version 5.0 doesn't have binaries for mac and linux and the older versions give javascript errors on mac. Also the add-on plugins don't work
Brings many results but not necessarily those you need. I would split the file search and internet search, as looking through the list takes more time than using two separate apps.
A great launcher. Solid functionality, love its dark theme; v0.3.1 has been solid for me!
Ability to search internet databases without a browser
