	<string>This script uses zsh because it’s my preferred shell, but the open app workflow will launch an application from shell in order to share environment variables and paths.


The script filter will auto suggest apps based on your installed apps. After choosing an app, a simple one line is used to launch the app in the background without a terminal window:

```
nohup /bin/zsh -l -c "{query}" &amp;
