For those of us without macs or ios - what would you recommend (if anything) for replacement of Alfred for Windows or Linux?
Or is there another kind of application you'd like to be able to use (that may or may not exist yet) in place of Alfred?
Would any search system work for that matter? Could a command line system be used (ie - some form of grep perhaps)? What about something like a "google appliance" style search system (a couple of these exist - both open source and otherwise)?
- least 7y agoA more direct alternative to Alfred on linux is Albert [1]. There's also Rofi [2], Ulauncher[3], and probably many more launchers available. On Windows Keypirinha[4] is pretty good. There's also Wox[5]. I don't think any of the alternatives are as well fleshed out as Alfred is but there are a lot of 'good enough' if you're using a different OS. Any launcher is better than the default search on windows 10, for example.
