# Zaap Launcher

> Zaap Launcher is a Raycast alternative for Linux — a fast app launcher and command palette. Search apps, run commands, and manage clipboard history from one keyboard shortcut (Alt+Space).

Zaap Launcher is one of the best Linux launchers for productivity desktops. Launch apps, run scripts, search clipboard history, translate text, and set timers from a single shortcut. Works on Wayland and X11. Tested on Ubuntu, Fedora, Pop!_OS, and Arch Linux.

Built for Linux power users and developers who want a keyboard-first launcher experience without macOS.

Built-in capabilities include app search and command palette, searchable clipboard history, custom commands, translation, timers, calculator, emoji picker, Unsplash browser, Notion search, file search, and process management.

Compared to Raycast (macOS-only), Ulauncher, or Albert, Zaap is a full Raycast alternative for Linux with clipboard, translation, and timers built in — no plugin setup. Free to download and use. Public releases on GitHub; source code is not public. Clipboard history never leaves your machine. Most core features work offline. Global shortcuts work on Wayland and X11.
