Ask HN: Best Alfred for Windows?

3 points by n8ta 3 years ago | 6 comments

Alfred on macOS is lovely. Specifically I like using: 'filename to search for individual files quickly.

Sadly Alfred isn't available for Windows. What's the best "Alfred for Windows"?

You could try Wox for it's more expansive capabilities.

For file search you could try Everything published by Voidtools.

Does it have the same easy to pull cmd+space type thing? I really like that it's always there no need to open an application.

Wox has a preconfigured hotkey.

Everything allows you to set a preferred hotkey in the settings.

Everything is the tool I miss the most on Mac, I haven't found anything even close

Windows has its own indexing, filenames as well as content for specific types. Just press [Win] and type the filename.
