Albert Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Ubuntu for a Mac user (SWE)

  And, albert https://albertlauncher.github.io/ would be the default spotlight alternative, but in my experience it's not that snappy and doesn't behave exactly as you'd expect. Imo the default gnome search function is fine. Source: about 2 years ago

• Albert launcher update!

  It took quite some time, but after years of overhaul, testing, and patching I'd like to introduce Albert. New features (since 0.18) include an abstract plugin system, custom triggers, an API which got more developer friendly and of course feature rich for both C++ and Python plugins, plugins come with more features, search is even faster, UI is nicer, Qt6, C++20… Give it a try and let me know what you think.
