A Linux X11 alternative to App-Start. Independent open-source project, not affiliated with or endorsed by App-Start. Summoning via global X11 hotkey uses XGrabKey on X11; Wayland-native sessions cannot intercept global hotkeys from external clients.
FEATURES • Popup Menu Designer & Live Summon: summon a compact categorized popup menu directly at the X11 mouse cursor (edge-clamped inside the active RandR monitor) with Left Categories (Pinned, All Apps, Folders, Open Windows), instant search filtering, and Up/Down/Enter/Esc keyboard navigation. • Real System Apps & Folders Catalog: automatically indexes real .desktop application entries (/usr/share/applications, /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications, ~/.local/share/applications) and real home folders, with pinning, custom categories, and direct process launching. • Usage Frequency & Behavior Rules: SQLite usage counter promotes frequent commands, configurable global X11 hotkey (Ctrl+Alt+Space), focus-out auto-close, and EN/VI interface toggle.
