Forgot what Synapse is?
Synapse is a semantic launcher written in Vala that you can use to start applications as well as find and access relevant documents and files by making use of the Zeitgeist engine.
Just press on your keyboard, and Synapse will show up; then you can type to search things: applications, documents, places, web pages you visited, and more and more stuff.
The goal of this application is to “find what you do”, for example, you can simply press the down arrow (after summoning the application) to see recent activities!
