# Launchers
- [Arch wiki: Application launchers](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_of_applications/Other#Application_launchers)
- [What are the best app launchers for UNIX-like systems?](https://www.slant.co/topics/3945/~best-linux-app-launchers)
- [Awesome wayland: Launchers](https://github.com/rcalixte/awesome-wayland?tab=readme-ov-file#launchers)
- [Anarcat's launcher overview](https://anarc.at/software/desktop/wayland/#launcher-rofi-fuzzel)
## Walker
- [GitHub](https://github.com/abenz1267/walker)
- Active, >800 commits, 10 contributors
- Go
- AUR package: `walker-bin`
- Issues:
- Erratic and non-deterministic behaviour: Using the same input yields different matching results with i.e.:
`/home/varac/bin/custom/recently_used_files.sh | tail -200 | walker -d`
### Walker plugins
- Easy to extend: simple stdin/stdout (external or via configuration, see wiki)
- [Wiki: Plugins](https://github.com/abenz1267/walker/wiki/Plugins)
### Wofi
Rofi-like, text-based alternative for wlroots-based wayland compositors
- [Website](https://cloudninja.pw/docs/wofi.html)
- [Repo](https://hg.sr.ht/~scoopta/wofi)
- C
- Last commit 2024-08
Still [clunky Fuzzy matching](https://todo.sr.ht/~scoopta/wofi/48), i.e.
```sh
gopass ls --flat | wofi -d -i -M fuzzy
```
### Bemenu
Dynamic menu library and client program inspired by dmenu
- [GitHub](https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu)
- C
- 60+ contributors
- Bemenu works good together with [j4-dmenu-desktop](https://github.com/enkore/j4-dmenu-desktop)
- Works with wayland
- Very good fuzzy matching (better than wofi)
