Wox is the open source Alfred alternative Windows users need to boost their productivity
“Windows search is slow, frustrating, resource-intensive, and prone to burying the file you actually need under irrelevant results. With a built-in Bing search engine, it’s undoubtedly a common pain point for Windows users. And that's even before mentioning the full-screen takeover that disrupts your focus. Overall, it’s nowhere close to app launchers like Alfred, Raycast, and even Spotlight Search on Mac.”
Many 3rd party alternatives are often more flexible than Windows' own built in tools. Wox has a plugin store to also extend its functionality a lot further.
The biggest challenge for many is to overcome the muscle memory. You need to remember you have a tool like this, otherwise it falls into disuse. I'm frequently amazed at how much stuff I've installed, and completely forgotten about!
