Zazu, 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.

Action Shot

Zazu App

Development

As you might expect:

npm install
npm start

If you enable debug mode it will make it so Zazu won't hide and the dev tools will open by default. You can enable debug mode by adding a debug flag to true inside of your ~/.zazurc.json

{
  "debug": true,
  "hotkey": "cmd+space",
  "theme": "tinytacoteam/zazu-playful-theme",
  "plugins": []
}

Deployment

To deploy simple update the version in both package.json and app/package.json (eg 0.3.2). After comitting you can tag the release, but be sure to add the v in front (eg v0.3.2). Push the commits then the tag.

The CI servers will upload the assets once the tests are done passing, the new release should be a draft, so once all assets are published you can publish the release on GitHub.

Lastly, you should re-publish the docs. Zazu uses the doc website to see if a new release is available so doing a quick release will allow others to download the newest version. Simply run npm run docs:publish.
