The launcher
Find an app, a file or an open window without leaving the keyboard. The launcher also runs desktop actions, so you can take a screenshot or change the theme from the same search field.
A configurable
Wayland desktop.
Ferese includes its own shell, launcher and settings, with a shared theme and animations throughout the desktop. Choose a layout for each workspace and configure it through Settings or a KDL file.
Arrange windows
by workspace.
Scroll through columns of windows, use tree tiling to divide the screen, or let a window float. Each workspace can have its own layout, with tabs for keeping related windows together.
Move and resize with the mouse or keyboard. When you need to find something, Overview shows your windows and workspaces in one place.
Shortcuts and gestures

Set up Live ActivitiesMake it your desktop.
Choose a light or dark theme, then adjust the colors, fonts, corners and motion. The shell, Settings and lock screen follow the same appearance settings, and changes apply as you make them.
Your panel can be a full-width bar, separate floating groups, or Morph, a compact hub that expands when you open it. Arrange its controls in Settings.
