About Vicinae

Vicinae is an open source, native command palette for desktops that launches apps and performs related everyday tasks from one interface. Out of the box, it can serve as an app search, clipboard history, text expander with snippets, file search, browser tab switcher, emoji picker, calculator, window and workspace switcher, font browser, and volume controller. The project is licensed under GPL-3.0 and is described as a repository on GitHub.

For extension, Vicinae supports React and TypeScript extensions that are described as compatible with the Raycast ecosystem, along with Raycast-compatible script commands that include Vicinae additions. It also supports dmenu-style menu creation. Extensions can be installed through the Vicinae store or the Raycast store. The directory listing names Linux as the platform. The homepage mentions macOS only in a calculator backend note and in topic tags, and Windows only in topic tags, so support on those systems is not described in detail.
