  1. rofi

    Rofi: A window switcher, application launcher and dmenu replacement

    Project mention: Wayland Application Launchers: Stick with Rofi | dev.to | 2025-05-11

    Today is a lazy Sunday, and I did what nobody should do on a Sunday: Spend time trying to replace something that already works. This time, my victim was rofi.

  3. tofi

    Tiny dynamic menu for Wayland

    Project mention: Wayland Application Launchers: Stick with Rofi | dev.to | 2025-05-11

    tofi: Advertises itself as a dmenu and rofi replacement and claims to be very fast. It is limited to launching applications. I could not see how I would customize it with my own scripts.

  4. jgmenu

    An X11 menu

    Project mention: How to make Openbox look good with ease? | dev.to | 2024-06-04

    On the other hand, as you can read at its GitHub repo, jgmenu is a simple, independent and contemporary-looking X11 menu, designed for scripting, ricing and tweaking. It is hackable, has a simple code base and does not depend on any toolkits such as GTK and Qt, but uses cairo and pango to render the menu. It can optionally use some appearance settings from XSettings, tint2 and GTK; and it has UTF-8 search support.

  5. xstarter

    Application launcher for Linux
