App launcher made with C++, Qt6 and X11. Inspired by Raycast. This is very janky right now lmao, don't actually expect it to be bug-free. Probably won't be worked on much, but I'll see, I'll try to work on it whenever im free.
Currently, it has these features:
- It can... launch apps. Truly revolutionary
- Fuzzy searching
- It can calculate basic arithmetic operations
- It can search online
- It can run a few system commands (like
shutdown,lock, etc.) - For a few online services (GitHub (
gh), NPM (npm), and Cargo (cargo)), it can even fetch the top 10 results and show it without you having to leave - Caching said results from those online services so it can load """blazing fast (🚀🚀🤯🔫)"""
- Converting time between timezones, with natural language (eg.
whats 5:49pm in london)
It's very simple! Just run either of these commands:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheUnium/rnux/refs/heads/main/assets/install.sh)Then, simply run rnux in your terminal.
bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheUnium/rnux/refs/heads/main/assets/install.sh)Then, simply run rnux in your terminal.
All the code is in src/
src/features: the features (web search, app launcher, calculator, etc.)src/windowui.cpp: ui stuff
- C++17
- CMake
- Qt6
- X11
- timelib
I was bored and watching Youtube and I saw a video in my recommended, which was a showcase of Raycasts' windows port. This unfortunately gave me inspiration to make something similar.
It's an app launcher. It looks good. That's kind of it. Other than that, it is pretty broken and janky.

- This is X11 only! I am too lazy to make it work on Wayland! It will work on Wayland, but the hotkey will not work!
