**Rofi** started as a clone of simpleswitcher, written by [Sean
Pringle](http://github.com/seanpringle/simpleswitcher) - a popup window
switcher roughly based on
[superswitcher](http://code.google.com/p/superswitcher/). Simpleswitcher laid
the foundations, and therefore Sean Pringle deserves most of the credit for
this tool. **Rofi** (renamed, as it lost the *simple* property) has been
extended with extra features, like an application launcher and ssh-launcher,
and can act as a drop-in dmenu replacement, making it a very versatile tool.
Thanks to the great work of [lbonn](https://github.com/lbonn), who added
Wayland support in his fork and maintained it for years, **Rofi**
now officially supports Wayland (since 2025).

**Rofi**, like dmenu, will provide the user with a textual list of options
where one or more can be selected.
This can either be running an application, selecting a window, or options
provided by an external script.
