Izvor is a GNU/Linux universal search/launcher utility.

It is written in Python, using GTK (3, not 4, and without libadwaita) for the graphical interface. It is licensed under the GPL.

It ships without any search sources. The default search engines are located at Izvor Modules.

Features

Currently, it is in development, lacks fuzzy search and localisation (but the main window has no text) and is not yet packaged for any distribution. It is, however, prepared for Flatpak, and I use it myself.

Meaning of the name

"Izvor" is a Serbo-Croatian, Romanian, Bulgarian and Macedonian word meaning "source". This reflects the launcher's ability to bring you search results from many sources. It is pronounced as "Eez-vor" with the accent as in "Izvōr", not "Īzvor".
