in plain english

Funke is a fast application launcher for Windows, built in Rust, inspired by the Spotlight search tool found on Macs. Pressing a global keyboard shortcut opens a search overlay where typing brings up matching results grouped into labeled sections, including installed applications, open windows, files, and more, with frequently chosen results rising toward the top over time. Beyond basic app launching, Funke can search file names in folders you choose, and if the free Everything search tool is already installed, Funke uses its live index automatically for instant results. It can also search inside the actual content of documents by querying the built in Windows Search index that Windows Explorer itself relies on, rather than scanning your files directly. A password manager integration works with Bitwarden and Vaultwarden, letting you unlock your vault inside the overlay, then type stored credentials directly into the correct login form, copy one time codes, or open and automatically fill in a login page. A safety check tries to confirm a window actually shows a login form before typing a password into it. Other included tools are a clipboard history that only lives in memory and specifically excludes anything that looks like a stored password, reusable text snippets with placeholders like today's date, a calculator that understands unit conversions such as temperature or distance, quick links to frequently visited pages, and a small system for launching separate plugin programs that communicate with Funke over a simple JSON based protocol. The interface supports both English and German, following your Windows language setting, and the whole experience is themed with a rounded, translucent look matching modern Windows design. The project is still in a pre release state, is open source under the MIT license, and documents its security choices, such as never storing passwords on disk, in a dedicated file within the repository.
