Flow Launcher offers a keyboard-first alternative to Windows Search
XDA's Brian Burgess uses the open-source utility to launch apps, find files and run plugins from a compact Alt+Space search box.
TLDR
XDA writer Brian Burgess describes Flow Launcher as a replacement for much of his Windows 11 Start menu use. The open-source utility opens with Alt+Space, searches apps, files and settings, and supports short Action Keywords for commands and focused searches. Connecting the Everything search tool extends results across multiple drives, while a plugin store adds functions such as bookmark search, calculations, weather and media controls. The speed and preference claims reflect the writer's experience rather than an independent Digg test.
