ueli gives Windows users a keyboard-based way to reach programs, files, bookmarks, and system tools. Rather than moving through folders or menus, you can call up its search window, enter a query, and choose a matching result. It suits people who frequently switch between applications or need to look up local items while keeping their hands on the keyboard.

Bring up a search box with a shortcut, then open the result you need from the keyboard.

A keyboard shortcut displays or hides the window, and arrow keys and Enter handle result selection. You can keep often-used entries at the top of results by marking them as favorites. Optional extensions add tasks such as calculations, web searches, currency conversions, and password generation. The settings area lets you turn extensions on or off, while an actions menu offers commands for individual results.

Features:

  • Search installed applications from the launcher
  • Find files through optional search extensions
  • Open browser bookmarks from search results
  • Run calculations from the search window
  • Place favorite items above other results
  • Access system commands through an extension
