Hain

An alt+space launcher for Windows, built with Electron.

I always dreamed of an alternative to Alfred on Windows, that is made with JavaScript. so, I made it.

Vision

It's a launcher with strict syntax (like terminal programs), it's not targeting to interpret natural language.
I believe the strict syntax can provide more powerful and fast response than to interpret natural language.

Features

Searching Executable files very fast with Fuzzy Matching
Plugins in Pure JavaScript

Usage

Run and press alt+space anywhere.
