![Test Status](https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/actions/workflows/tests.yml/badge.svg?branch=v6)

#### ⚠️ This is the branch for the unreleased [v6](https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/issues/869) release. If you want the v5 branch version, go [here](https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/tree/v5).

We are currently working on Ulauncher v6, which is a huge rewrite. Until then we're only supporting the existing functionality in v5. No new features or improvements.

We are making pre-releases for Ulauncher 6, but the new extension API is not yet 100% set and further major changes may come.

### Run Ulauncher on startup

If your distribution uses [Systemd](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/) and the packages includes [ulauncher.service](ulauncher.service), then you can run `ulauncher` on startup by running:

```

systemctl --user enable --now ulauncher

```

If not, then you can open Ulauncher and enable "Launch at Login" in the preferences.
