I used Keypirinha since about 2016 then power toys's launcher but for the last year or 2 I don't use anything and depend on Win+S search on Windows 10 plus AutoHotKey. In the past I didn't like how Windows search loads so far in the bottom left or near your start button but it does a decent job at returning results quickly and it also lets you search for Windows settings as well as apps. That's something Keypirinha came up a bit short on. For my most used apps I have them bound to direct hotkeys with AutoHotKey. For example I hit Win+w to launch a web browser or Win+t to launch a terminal or Win+SHIFT+T to launch a terminal as an admin. I have a bunch of these hotkeys.
