They literally have section on the website: https://albertlauncher.github.io/installing/#from-source that refers their github: https://github.com/albertlauncher/albert.git

Nice, thanks for naming a project after me. :P I also like the ALBERT lite-BERT model (https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.11942). Although this was just a matter of time. The other names which match to "*bert*" were already taken. Anyway, going on topic: Such a project really should have a related work section, right at the beginning, because there are many existing launchers, and just say how this is different (maybe better). E.g. see here (https://alternativeto.net/software/alfred/?platform=linux). But I also would be interested on differences e.g. to Alfred (Mac). I really wonder why such comparisons are very often missing. Also, a bit more information would be nice. Is this cross platform? Or Linux only? It seems Mac is on the todo-list (https://github.com/albertlauncher/albert/issues/1050) but I don't see a Mac binary download, so I assume i

Should also mention Albert for Linux (a project similar to Alfred for MacOS) https://github.com/albertlauncher/albert

Just found one called "Albert" [1] https://github.com/albertlauncher/albert

True. I recently picked up Albert [1] on my Ubuntu machine because I was missing spotlight search. So far it works well - it would have been nice if something like it was included by default. https://github.com/albertlauncher/albert

A more direct alternative to Alfred on linux is Albert [1]. There's also Rofi [2], Ulauncher[3], and probably many more launchers available. On Windows Keypirinha[4] is pretty good. There's also Wox[5]. I don't think any of the alternatives are as well fleshed out as Alfred is but there are a lot of 'good enough' if you're using a different OS. Any launcher is better than the default search on windows 10, for example.

As for Alfred replacement... How about [Albert](https://github.com/albertlauncher/albert)?

There are quite a few of these Quicksilver-clones these days: * Ulauncher http://ulauncher.io/ * Albert https://github.com/albertlauncher/albert#albert- * Synapse https://launchpad.net/synapse-project * Kupfer https://kupferlauncher.github.io/ * Zazu http://zazuapp.org/ * M-x counsel-linux-app http://oremacs.com/2016/03/16/counsel-linux-app/ I've tried a couple, but I always end up back to Alt+F2 in XFCE, since most of these launchers always start so slowly in comparison, and I never use any other features (more than once) than starting Firefox/Emacs/Terminal …

I'm very satisfied with Linux Mint 18 and Cinnamon. Everything ran out of the box on my Thinkpad; It comes with nice looking fonts that render well; The Mint-y theme is quite beautiful (IMHO); It's a Debian/Ubuntu derivative, so you get very good support and a lot of packages; High-dpi scaling works very nicely, especially since version 18. If you need a replacement for Alfred, you should have a look at Albert [0]. I use Albert in Linux Mint as a replacement for the Main menu. [0] https://github.com/albertlauncher/albert

Not sure about searching clipboard history, but just about every Linux window manager has a decent application launcher that can be easily accessed with the keyboard. I haven't tried it, but Albert may be worth a look : https://github.com/ManuelSchneid3r/albert
