  • bemenu

    Dynamic menu library and client program inspired by dmenu

    bemenu (i. e. bemenu-run) is a simple launcher that has command line interface (set with BEMENU_BACKEND environment variable), also fzf can be useful in this regard but it will most likely require writing additional scripts to work as a launcher.

  • fzf

    :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • sway-launcher-desktop

    TUI Application launcher with Desktop Entry support. Made for SwayWM, but runs anywhere

    I use sway-launcher-desktop. It does not really have submenus as you requested, but is still a nice terminal application launcher.
