Katapult is a discontinued free application launcher for KDE desktop environment. Its development ceased in 2008.
Katapult allows the user to quickly launch applications or open files by pressing Alt + space and typing the beginning of the file or application name. Katapult doubles as a quick calculator, spell checker, and document viewer. Katapult also evaluates expressions (e.g. "5+1"). The solution appears on the right (e.g. "6"). Katapult also features a spell checker that allows the user to verify the spelling of a typed-in word. Katapult file access supports incremental find. The user does not need to type in the entire name of the file to access it, only the first few letters. This feature may also be used to open applications, play songs via Amarok, and in other contexts as well. The Escape key exits Katapult. The Enter key opens applications that are displayed.
Some of the functionality of Katapult has been integrated in the built-in KRunner that ships with KDE Software Compilation 4.
The Katapult is a now-defunct type of roller coaster. Only eight such rides were made. The ride suffered breakdowns often. Wildwood, New Jersey once had two of these, although both are now gone.

I've been thinking, trying to find
the way back home, some peace of mind
My world is shrinking I'm losing all touch
I just can't find the things I miss so much
Take me, take me away
I've been losing my mind these days
I see so unclear
I've really gone astray
I ran away from you, I thought I knew
how to leave the problems behind and make it through
Though I've been drifting I keep winding back here
