Finding The Best Windows Application Launcher
The application launcher I'm currently using is Executor, which started 10+ years ago and still being maintained now. I have tried to switch to other launchers about 1~2 years ago but can't find one that fits my needs. I want to make a switch mainly because it sometimes lags. I need to wait for the searching list showing to push enter, which is a big no.

Looks nice.. gives you choice of appearance File right-click brings up shell context menu. Runs fast. Indexes. Good tactical keywords like "Switch Windows" that I don't see in Flow.
New Release V2.0 Aug 2025. Backward compatible with previous versions and adds many new features. https://executor.dk/updates
whole lot of configuration options, more than any other launcher i've seen.
it's back! latest version is v0.99.20b from 28th of July
It is the most feature reach and customizable apps launcher for Windows. It's a pitty it's discontinued.
It is back now!
but this one wins hands down
My favorite launcher mainly for the ability to add keywords. It lets me create todo list shortcuts that open gvim with my todo.txt file in it as well as launch programs with a specific switch.
