Blue Line Console

Keyboard based launcher
Blue Line Console launches your apps, web search engines, and built in calculator via keyboard.

You can launch the desired app quickly with your keyboard everywhere. Just type 2 or 3 characters, and likely you can find the desired app on top of list. You need no configuration to do it (although I prepared some configuration for more comfortable usage).

You can start Blue Line Console by pressing once you set this app to default Assist App of Android. You can also start from notification bar, available everywhere (find this option in configuration screen, opened with config command).

You can input one of below list to search apps or commands.

- Part of application name (e.g. Blue Line Console)
- Part of package name (e.g. net.nhiroki.bluelineconsole)
- URL
- Calculation formula (e.g. 2+3*5, 1inch in cm, 1m+1inch, 1m+1inch in cm)
- One of commands below (e.g. help)

Available commands:

- help
- config
- date
- bing QUERY
- duckduckgo QUERY
- google QUERY
- wikipedia QUERY
- yahoo QUERY
- ping HOST
- ping6 HOST

Versions

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
