Introducing Nexalix Agora
Nexalix Agora is out: a Spotlight-style launcher for Windows. Alt+Space for apps, files, system actions, a calculator and live crypto, in one panel.
Agora shipped this month, and it is the first Nexalix product you can download and run today.
It is a launcher for Windows. You press Alt+Space, a single panel opens, and you type. Apps, recent files, a calculator, live crypto prices, system actions like sleep or dark mode. When nothing matches, one row sends the query to the web. That is the whole idea: open, type, get the thing, and let it get out of your way.
The name comes from the Greek agora, the square where a town gathered. A launcher is a small version of that. One place where everything shows up.
A few things we cared about while building it.
It stays quiet. The panel has no news feed, no account, no animation fighting for your attention. It does one job and then disappears.
It respects the machine. The installer is about 1 MB. It installs per user, so it never asks for admin rights. Nothing leaves your computer except the update check, and there is no telemetry. We are not interested in measuring how you use your own launcher.
It speaks your language. Agora ships with 17 interface languages, including Arabic and Persian with proper right-to-left layout. App search also matches latin input against localized names, so typing “terminal” finds Терминал.
It updates itself without you babysitting it. Every release is built in CI and signed with minisign. Agora checks GitHub Releases, verifies the signature, and installs the update. If the signature does not verify, the update does not happen.
Under the hood it is Tauri 2: a Rust backend talking to Win32 shell APIs for the app list, icons, and system actions, with a plain TypeScript front end and no framework. It is MIT licensed and the source is public.
Grab the installer from the releases page and press Alt+Space. If something you reach for every day is missing, open an issue. That is the fastest way to decide what goes in next.
