Description

Elephant - cuz it's phat - is a powerful data provider service and backend for building custom application launchers and desktop utilities. It provides various data sources and actions through a plugin-based architecture, communicating via Unix sockets and Protocol Buffers.

Elephant acts as a unified backend service that aggregates data from various sources (desktop applications, files, clipboard history, etc.) and provides a consistent interface for frontend applications like custom launchers, productivity tools, or desktop widgets.

Install

Binary package:

pkg install elephant

From the ports tree:

cd /usr/ports/sysutils/elephant/ && make install clean
