Fast, no frills "Alfred" style launcher for Windows. Definitely recommended!
Opens fast, loads suggestions fast, responses to clicks are fast. This pirinha accelerated my whole day. Despite from that it looks nice and clean, is well documented, maintained and in a stable state. The configuration thing is confusing at first but I like the concept and got used to it.
It's been years since I started looking for a great, active and customizable keyboard launcher for Windows.
None does it as good as Keypirinha. Just try it.

best launcher , searcher and everything else you might want from it.
very much extendable with ton's of plugins and functions users can CHOSE to use.
it has a bit of a learning curf however it's simple enough if you just follow the guide
or even just learn to remove #(option enables when # is gone.
Also 0 means whateverthisdoes = not doing that right now
whateverthisdoes = 1 means that you enabled that config.
Anyway, best launcher there is, launchy works but isn't worked on any longer, WOX is ridden with bugs atm and the devs haven't updated it for about 4,5 months.
Wonderful app. Fast and furious! :D I used Launchy before, but during indexation my HDD was busy a lot and computer was starting to work slow. Keypirinha - is the best alternative, which I found. It is beautiful, simple, has several plugins and it has some sublime-like setting way, low consuming of resources. The SDK is also distributed, so you can create your own plugin easily. Python is not complicated language :)
