Mutate: awesome launcher for productivity

Mutate is a very fast and powerful launcher for Ubuntu inspired by the Alfred and Spotlight Mac apps. You can call it the next-gen Synapse. In addition to launching apps, Mutate can do or can be extended to do a lot of other things:

• Find files and applications
• Find files by extension
• Kill processes
• Google translate using keyword tr
• Google search
• GitHub search
• Open URLs in browser
• Shutdown, logout, reboot
• Open system or Mutate settings/preferences
• Custom hotkey support
• Custom script support (like tr)

To install on Ubuntu:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mutate/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install mutate

OR

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/apps
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install mutate

Once you start the application it continues to run the background. To launch it later use <Ctrl-d>. Type preference to launch preferences window. You can add custom scripts or commands to Mutate.
