I've been using ulauncher lately — https://ulauncher.io/

Though I'd like to find one that centers properly under Wayland. I'll have to dig into this list.

Wouldn't that require compositor integration? I was given to understand that Wayland clients can't work with absolute positioning.

There's the xdg-shell protocol to position launchers, bars or similar UI elements https://wayland.app/protocols/xdg-shell
