Zazu is a fully extensible and open source launcher for hackers, creators, and dabblers.
https://vimeo.com/206729309Zazu, is a cross platform and fully extensible and open source launcher for hackers, creators and dabblers. Download it from the releases page.
Zazu was created to be a fully open source alternative to Alfred, but also be completely plugin based. You can remove any functionality you don't like, so if you hate the built in calculator, just get a new one!
We also have all of your configuration in a dotfile in ~/.zazurc.json so it can be backed up and synced!
Be sure to check out our amazing Documentation.
Download
You can go to our Download page to get the latest version of Zazu or build your own. It offers a build for popular operating systems such as Mac, Linux and Windows.
Run
Once you open Zazu, it’ll begin to install all your plugins and present you with a notification letting you know that your plugins have been installed. Once your plugins are installed, you can hit the default launch shortcut alt+space and see Zazu appear. You can begin to type in commands such as:
13 feet to inches
screensaver
find resume.docx
Configure
All your configuration is in a single file, to make it easy to backup and version. It’s located in your home directory under ~/.zazurc.json (or C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\.zazurc.json for Windows). Here, you can add some new plugins and remove ones you don’t want. There is more information in our documentation on Personal Configuration.
Zazu supports running in portable mode, details are found on the configuration page
Moving Zazu
On some Linux configurations, Zazu doesn’t position itself correctly when it first opens. To fix this, parts of your selected theme have “draggable” regions, which allow you to drag Zazu. Since Zazu remembers where it was last opened, it’ll stay in that position.
