WannaTool is a lightweight and focused Windows launcher designed to stay fast, simple, and out of your way.
It provides quick access to applications and a small set of power-user actions — without background bloat or unnecessary services.
Inspired by tools like Spotlight and Raycast, WannaTool is built specifically for Windows, with performance and restraint as first-class goals.
WannaTool is intentionally minimal.
It does not try to replace Task Manager, MSI Center, or system “optimizer” tools.
It avoids background monitoring, aggressive cleaners, and permanent services.
Every feature follows a simple rule:
If it is not explicitly useful, fast, and user-initiated, it does not belong in WannaTool.
The goal is to provide a clean launcher and a small set of reliable power-user actions — nothing more.
-
Quick launcher
Open applications, files, and shortcuts instantly usingAlt + Space. -
Process inspection & termination
View the heaviest running processes and terminate them on demand (!top,!kill).
No background monitoring, no automation. -
Lightweight system monitoring
Optional CPU and GPU usage display, designed to stay near zero cost when idle. -
Modern and clean UI
Minimal interface, high-quality icons, DPI-aware, and fully multi-monitor compatible. -
Persistent settings
User configuration stored safely in AppData, with instant application of changes.
To keep the project focused and reliable, WannaTool deliberately does not include:
- RAM cleaners or “boosters”
- Automatic system or service optimizers
- Battery or peripheral monitoring
- Heavy background watchers
Those features exist elsewhere and do not align with the purpose of this tool.
WannaTool is currently in alpha.
The core architecture is stable, but features and UI may evolve.
The focus is on correctness, performance, and polish rather than rapid feature expansion.
Prebuilt binaries will be provided in GitHub Releases.
For development:
git clone https://github.com/laxyny/wannatool.git- Further performance and memory optimizations
- Command system improvements
- UX polish and edge-case handling
- Documentation and command discovery
No large features are planned without clear justification.
