What is Flow Launcher?
Flow Launcher puts application launching and file search in a keyboard-driven search window on Windows. Press Alt+Space, the configurable default shortcut, to enter a query and choose a result without browsing through the Start menu or folders. The publisher lists support for Everything and Windows Index for file searches.
The same interface offers web searches, browser bookmarks, calculations and Windows system commands. Themes and configurable hotkeys let you adjust its appearance and controls, while the plugin store extends the available actions with community-made plugins.
The linked download is the publisher’s version 2.1.4 EXE installer for Windows 10 or newer; a portable ZIP is offered separately. The publisher warns that Windows may display a security warning on first installation because the code is not signed. This listing does not establish that the installer is safe or that it has been installed or tested.
