Ulauncher is a fast application launcher with extension and shortcut support to help you quickly access application and files in Linux

An application launcher lets you quickly access or open an app without hovering over the application menu icons.

The options that you get with Ulauncher are super accessible and easy to customize. Some key highlights include:
* Fuzzy search algorithm, which lets you find applications even if you misspell them
* Remembers your last searched application in the same session
* Frequently used apps display (optional)
* Custom color themes
* Preset color themes that include a dark theme
* Shortcut to summon the launcher can be easily customized
* Browse files and directories
* Support for extensions to get extra functionality (emoji, weather, speed test, notes, password manager, etc.)
* Shortcuts for browsing sites like Google, Wikipedia, and Stack Overflow

If you use KDE desktop you may also want to look at KRunner which is similar - it has fewer plugins than Ulauncher, but it does find AppImages better.
