Cerebro is a free application launcher software with Google search, unit converter, calculator, etc. While other such tools can only show only installed software, this application launcher can do a lot more things. For example, if you want to perform some Google search, activate this launcher, type your search query and then it will show Google search results in Chrome browser. You can also launch a website by simply typing the URL and then pressing Enter key. Thus, you don’t have to leave your current application and open a browser to perform some Google search or open a website. Apart from that, its built-in unit converter and calculator are also helpful to quickly get the results.

This application launcher software does all these additional actions with the help of pre-installed plugins. Apart from that, it lets you install more plugins to do some more advanced tasks. You can install Google Maps plugin to view the map of any city or country within this application launcher, weather forecast plugin to view current and upcoming weather conditions for a city, show time in different time zones, find pictures available on Unsplash, perform Wikipedia search, etc. All plugins are lightweight and just one click is needed to install any plugin.
