I've recently been enjoying using Hain, another spotlight-esque launcher like this one with more features:

- A built-in package manager based on NPM

- A visual settings editor - there's no need to edit configuration files

- Very fast fuzzy matching of file and program names

- Toast notifications and buttons

- An HTML-based preview pane

Sadly it's Windows-only for now, but there are contributors working on porting it to Linux and macOS.

If you're running macOS I've had success with building the feature/macos branch.

Hain is a great project, they launched a few months after I started working on Zazu!

For comparison:

- Zazu has a github based package manager

- A dotfile for configuration (for backup!)

- Very fast fuzzy matching of file and program names

- Cross platform notifications (toast on windows!)

- An HTML-based preview pane

- Cross platform!
