A simple GTK3 launcher/finder utility for GNU/Linux. Current features include searching for applications, directories, files by name and contents using TF-IDF, chromium and firefox bookmarks, dictionary definitions, steam games and evaluates mathematical expressions.

This project is still in development. Some features may not work as expected and may not be localised. If you have any issues or suggestions, please open an issue.

There are currently no packages available so you will have to install manually. This may change in the future.

1. Ensure you have the dependencies installed.
2. Download the latest release from the releases page.
3. Extract the archive and copy the binaries to /usr/local/bin.

$ tar -xvf glimpse-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
$ sudo cp -a glimpse-X.Y.Z/ /usr/local/bin

First ensure you have the dependencies installed. Then run the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/jaspwr/glimpse
$ cd glimpse
$ bash install.sh
