Stay on target ๐ŸŽฏ

Executor focuses on being a fast gateway to open anything, rather than deep integration. Here's why:

  • Online services and applications have their own nice, advanced and specialized user interface, search and/or prompt system. Why try to replicate that into a probably weaker limited solution. Let's just open the proper one.
  • They change all the time, resulting in a maintenance nightmare to keep all integrations working. Functionality is likely to slowly deteriorate and get buggy, leading to frustration.
  • Potentially cumbersome and fragile setup with authentication, API keys and such, introducing security risks.
  • They come and go (myspace plugin/extension?). Some just slowly fade away, but a small crowd might still like support.
  • If you want to cram the whole world into one application (plugins, extensions etc.), it's bound to get ugly in terms of performance, stability, complexity and system footprint, and if commercial software, probably also privacy (your data is the new gold, and investors will be eager to get that gold).

Lets focus on quickly opening anything, with some customization and flexibility on top, and also have some small tools and system interactions that might be handy in the daily workflow. On top of that there's an internal browser that can interact with Executor, that lets you run your preferred AI, open smaller sites instantly, and create freely.

Stay fast and lean ๐Ÿš€

All Windows native compiled code at API level. No chunky cross platform frameworks (Electron, Flutter etc.). No core dependencies on bulky and slow interpreted languages (Python, JavaScript etc.). No built-in resource consuming AI, eagerly wanting your data for all sorts of reasons. Read more.

Really free ๐Ÿช

Fully free on a MIT license and free for commercial use. No constant agenda to get you into a paid model. No hidden agendas with (financially) promoted extensions and plugins. No investors trying to steer the ship. Of course until the Executor executive board totally sells out.

"I'm trying to fight off all the AI Windows 11 keeps pushing on me, to 'help' and 'steer' my PC for me (and harvest my data, and eventually try get my money through ads). With Executor I'm the one in control of my PC, I don't really use the Start Menu anymore".

"Executor is one of reasons I'm sticking to Windows for now, and not migrating to Linux, SteamOS or Mac.
