Launch. Extend.Make it yours.

Wox is a fast desktop launcher for opening apps, finding files, running system actions, and building workflows with plugins.

Built for everyday flow

Wox stays close to the keyboard and keeps the important actions one command away.

01

Find and launch quickly

Start apps, open folders, jump to recent projects, and search local files without switching context.

02

Act on every result

Use result actions for opening, copying, revealing, running shortcuts, and sending work to the right tool.

03

Grow with plugins

Install community plugins or build your own with Node.js, Python, script plugins, and the Wox API.

Themes

Switch from light and dark modes to community-made styles

Wox themes shape the query box, result list, active item, and the overall launcher mood. These screenshots show real appearances instead of abstract color swatches.

Core experience

Search results that stay useful after you find them

Wox is not just a text box. Results can carry icons, subtitles, action panels, hotkeys, context, and plugin-provided workflows so common tasks finish inside the launcher.

  • Application, file, bookmark, web search, clipboard, calculator, and converter workflows.
  • Action panel for secondary commands without leaving the keyboard.
  • Theme support for matching the launcher with your desktop.

Plugin platform

Use the built-ins, then shape the rest around your own workflow

Wox keeps the launcher small and lets plugins add the parts that are specific to your work: project shortcuts, system commands, web tools, AI helpers, internal dashboards, or anything reachable from a script.
