About Onagre
Onagre is a launcher inspired by rofi, wofi and Alfred. It works on both X11 and Wayland and is built with the iced GUI toolkit in Rust.
Its search results come from pop-launcher, the launcher backend from System76, so its plugin system gives it more than application search: plugins can add things such as calculators, file search and web searches. Themes let you change its appearance.
