“Whipped this up because no other launcher did what I wanted.”
Rust skills: questionable. Result: usable.

A lightweight GTK4 app launcher for Wayland.
Built with gtk4, libadwaita, and gtk4-layer-shell.

• Fast fuzzy search (fuzzy-matcher)
• Configurable styles via config.toml
• App icons + live match highlighting
• Smooth animations (libadwaita)
• Keyboard + mouse controls:
  • Arrows / Tab → move
  • Enter → launch
  • Esc → quit
  • Scroll → browse
• Wayland-native overlay window (gtk4-layer-shell)

Launchery reads from a config.toml:

• Dev mode → ./config.toml
• Release → ~/.config/launchery/config.toml
