 Applications are discovered in `/Applications`, `/System/Applications`, `/System/Library/CoreServices/Applications`, and `~/Applications`, including nested folders. Discovery runs off the UI thread and refreshes whenever the launcher is presented. Hidden items, invalid bundles, and helpers inside application packages are excluded; symlinked applications are deduplicated by their canonical paths.

+Discovery supports both standard (`APPL`) and XPC-backed (`XPC!`) `.app` bundles, including Apple Passwords, provided they contain a valid executable.

 Search is case- and accent-insensitive. Ranking is exact name, full-name prefix, word prefix, ordered word initials, substring, then ordered-subsequence fuzzy matches. Fuzzy matches favor smaller gaps and earlier starts. Equally good text matches put favorites first, then order by successful launch count, most recent launch, and alphabetically. Neither favorites nor usage promote a weaker text match above a stronger one or change which applications match. Hover over a result to see its path. Launch failures appear in a native alert without dismissing the launcher.

 Words are runs of letters or numbers separated by spaces, punctuation, or symbols. For example, `settings` matches the second word of System Settings, `gc` matches Google Chrome, and `ss` matches System Settings. Initials must occur in order but can skip words: both `vsc` and `vc` match Visual Studio Code.
