Lauf is a new launcher made completely in shell script.

It's fast, modular, and portable.

What is Lauf?

Lauf is a lightweight application and task launcher that's completely programmed in the simple shell script language. Lauf is made to run under the Dash, Bash, or any of the posix compliant shells.

Lauf? What kind of name is that?

It's the German word for "Run". Also, to answer your next question, no, I am not German.

Well, what are the dependencies?

The following must be installed in order for Lauf to work properly:

• Zenity

• Notify-OSD

Note: This is optional, as long as you change the lauf_notify_style from "notify-osd" to "message" see Configuring Lauf. By default, notify-osd will be used.

• Coreutils

External plugin dependencies are not listed, When activating an external plugin, It's dependencies will be shown.
