Rofi A window switcher, Application launcher and dmenu replacement . **Rofi** started as a clone of simpleswitcher, written by Sean Pringle - a popup window switcher roughly based on superswitcher. Simpleswitcher laid the foundations, and therefore Sean Pringle deserves most of the credit for this tool. **Rofi** (renamed, as it lost the *simple* property) has been extended with extra features, like an application launcher and ssh-launcher, and can act as a drop-in dmenu replacement, making it a very versatile tool. Thanks to the great work of lbonn, who added Wayland support in his fork and maintained it for years, **Rofi** now officially supports Wayland (since 2025). **Rofi**, like dmenu, will provide the user with a textual list of options where one or more can be selected. This can either be running an application, selecting a window, or options provided by an external script. What is rofi not? Rofi is not: • A UI toolkit. • A library to be used in other applications. • An application that can support every possible use-case. It tries to be generic enough to be usable by everybody. • Specific functionality can be added using scripts or plugins, many exists. • Just a dmenu replacement. The dmenu functionality is a nice 'extra' to **rofi**, not its main purpose.
