About ZTools
ZTools is a keyboard launcher in the style of the Chinese productivity tool uTools. Its search finds apps by name, pinyin or regular expression, remembers history and pinned items, and hands queries to plugins, which can show their own interface or run headless. A built-in plugin market installs and manages extensions.
It also keeps a searchable clipboard history that includes images, and offers light, dark and system themes. The app is built on Electron for macOS and Windows; GitHub releases include separate Apple silicon and Intel builds.
