The legendary quasimodal launcher returns.
Enso is a launcher that lives on Caps Lock: tap it, type a command, hit Enter, and you're done — no windows to find, no menus to click through. It stays out of sight until called, acting as a command line for your entire computer, while making every command scriptable. A revival of the original Enso by Humanized, since 2010 it keeps that legendary feel of your fingers run the show. If you have tasted it, you can never go back.
Tap Caps Lock to summon a translucent command line, type, and hit Enter. It vanishes the moment you're done — no juggling buttons, no clicking around.
Open apps, files, folders, and bookmarks in a keystroke. Fuzzy matching gets you there before you finish typing.
Speak instead of type — Enso is able to listen for your commands, recognize them, and run them hands-free.
Uppercase, count characters, do math, or transform any highlighted text — anywhere on screen — with a single command.
Snap and resize windows or jump straight to any running app by name — maximize, minimize, and switch between windows without touching the mouse.
Every command is code. Write your own in Python and extend Enso to automate literally anything on your machine.
