 Wox is a **fully native**, open-source launcher for Windows, macOS, and Linux — with GPU rendering on every platform. It is an open-source Raycast / Alfred alternative. Everyday use typically stays around **~150 MB of memory**, so it can live in the background without feeling like another heavy desktop app. Local search, keyboard-first actions, and an extensible plugin system stay in one focused input.
