Skylight  the launcher.
Share

Skylight is a newly developed launcher and expression entry tool. Sleek yet functional, simple yet powerful, transparent and universal...this is the goal. Boasting advanced habit learning and matching algorithms, infinite plug-in extensibility and the general smarts equivalent of a rat, it is purpose built to make your computing life easier.

It can't be explained, so please try and send us feedback.
