About:
Cerebro is an open-source, extensible launcher designed for rapid access to applications, files, and system commands.

The tool prioritizes keyboard-driven workflows to minimize context switching and boost productivity.
Key Features:
  • Plugin ecosystem for extensibility
  • Fuzzy search for quick file and app launching
  • Built-in tools like calculator and unit converter
  • Cross-platform availability (macOS, Linux, Windows)
Use Cases:
