Vicinae (pronounced "vee-CHEE-nay") is a high-performance, native launcher for your desktop.

It comes with a rich set of built-in modules and can be easily extended using the Typescript SDK.

Drawing inspiration from the Raycast launcher, Vicinae provides a mostly compatible extension API, allowing reuse of many existing Raycast extensions with minimal modification.

Vicinae is designed for developers and power users who want fast, keyboard-first access to common system actions.
