Wox is a keyboard-driven command interface designed to centralize desktop productivity, system navigation, and workflow automation. It functions as a launcher that enables users to open applications, manage files, and execute system commands through a unified, text-based overlay. By integrating a modular plugin framework, the application allows for the expansion of its core capabilities to include specialized search providers and custom system utilities.
The platform distinguishes itself through the integration of language models, which enable natural language search and the automation of text-based tasks via conversational prompts. It utilizes a process-isolated architecture for its extensions, ensuring that third-party plugins operate independently from the core application. Users can further refine their interactions through keyword-based query routing and a secondary action panel that provides context-aware operations for selected results.
The application covers a broad range of system management tasks, including persistent file indexing, clipboard history tracking, mathematical calculations, and unit conversions. It supports external interaction through script-based query triggering and the processing of text selections from other active applications. The interface is fully customizable, offering support for visual themes, portable configuration management, and centralized plugin administration.
