Built in, compiled in

Corvo ships with the commands you reach for dozens of times a day. Each one is a native crate, not a script loaded at runtime.

  • App Launcher

    Fuzzy search across installed apps with frecency ranking powered by LMDB. The more you use Corvo, the better it ranks.

  • File Search

    Search your filesystem with configurable scopes and ignore rules, backed by the same SIMD matcher.

  • Clipboard History

    Text, code, colors, and images. Dedup, retention windows, and respect for password-manager concealment flags.

    Tile windows into halves, thirds, and quarters. Configure gaps and save layout templates.

Why it stays fast

One Command trait

Every command implements the same async search/execute trait. Results share one ranking engine, so behavior is identical across the app.

Compile-time registry

Commands register through link-time collection. No central list, no merge conflicts, no plugin runtime to attack or update.

Non-blocking search

Slow sources refresh on background tasks feeding a cache. The palette never waits on disk, network, or a slow API.
