Top alternatives for Executor on Linux

2014-12-31 / / 0 Comments

Hey guys
After confirming that there wasn’t an executor coming for Linux, I was bummed 🙁

Luckily Linux has a lot more to offer, here are my top alternatives of executor on Linux:

1. Launchy

A popular launch app. I even used it on windows for a while. It was my first serious app. I didn’t like it due to index issues. It took over 100 MB of ram to index the drive!

Website (Windows – Linux)

2. Synapse

One of the best simply! It can replace Executor for you with ease. I had one bug with it. It displayed file and folder history alongside the results. To me that was not good! 3:)

Website (Linux only)

3. Gnome Do.

I tried it for a while. I wasn’t really impressed, I mean it has some big shoes to fill.

Website (Linux only)

4. Unity Dash

Simple. Shipped with Ubuntu by default. has some nice features. It searches the internet as well the local sources. But me suing Xubuntu ..

Linux only Wikipedia

5. Kupfer

Which happens to be my personal favorite) I think it’s the best. It works almost the same. And with some knowledge you will be able to make your own keywords.

It’s fast, light weight, and customizable.

Website (Linux only)

These were my picks. I’d love to hear what you think about keystroke launchers. What are your favorites?

Comment below and let the knowledge flow 😀

There won’t be an Executor on Linux

2014-02-22 / / 0 Comments
Hi, good day to you

As it hurts me to report, the best Keyboard launcher won’t be making the jump toLinux..
And here I quote from the author of Executor:


“Hi,  Unfortunately there are no plans on a Linux version of Executor. My development time is very limited and the code base for Executor is heavily tied into the low level Windows API. I remember a colleague of mine showing me some quite impressive alternatives to Executor on Linux, can’t remember their names though.”

You can check the full thread from here

He suggested other alternatives that he forgot, I will update this post if he replied to me.
What are the alternatives you are using? Please share them with us..

I will make a separate post about it later this week when I have some time..
Here you have it 😀 I hope you find this useful  🙂

Have a nice day <3

Executor + Everything = Super power

This is an old post edited. Think of it as a remastered version!

Today we are going to talk about a huge productivity advantage.
Adding Everything to Executor to gain the ultimate combination.
For those who are unfamiliar with the programs. Here is a short intro:


1. Everything
Everything is a lightning fast search utility that searches the entire (drive / drives) to get results. It has many parameters to customize the search and many advantages over the usual search utility provided by windows.


2. Executor
What more I could say than I said? It’s an amazing software!

Imagine the power of the two combined!!

1. Index Everything as a search word in Executor. List it as anything you like, for example: Search. (You can do it by simply right clicking everything.exe and choosing send to Executor!)
2. From there launch everything from Executor.
3. Start typing into Everything. The folders and files will appear as you type!

And that’s it!
I hope you enjoyed this remastered version and found it useful!
