Omega is the information lookup tool that you always wanted at your beck and call. Search through your entire filesystem in a matter of seconds (a la Spotlight but cross-platform), find that Chrome/Firefox bookmark you created ages ago and even launch a web search straight from the desktop! Compatible with both Mac OS X and Windows, a simple shortcut key would bring up Omega's simple interface, ready for you.
Omega was heavily inspired by Alfred, the Mac OS X application launcher and all round productivity app (alfredapp.com). While Alfred was pretty awesome, it had a huge downside - it was, and is, only available for Mac OS X. Plus we realised several ways we could improve on the original app. So... here we are.
Omega comes with a robust plugin system that makes it incredibly easy for anyone to make plugins to augment it's functionality. In order to prove how easy they are to work with, we made eight (!) plugins to the base Omega application. Here are some of them..
