    Albert is a newer, desktop agnostic launcher similar to Synapse but inspired by the look and feel of the Alfred launcher on mac OS. Albert’s big selling point over Synapse is its performance. It’s much lighter on system resources and relies less on other desktop dependencies or frameworks. It’s also more readily extensible.

    Krunner is amazing because it's an incredible search tool that more than likely already comes with your standard KDE installation.
