Since the PR is quite old, it needs a rebase for me to try it out. Alongside with the other comments that should be addressed.

Should be ~/.cache/anyrun/applications-history in line with what the nix-run plugin uses.

Prefer $XDG_CACHE_HOME, and use $HOME/.cache as a fallback.

Should be an optional, in a way that None will disable the history alltogether.

Since the weighting has changed recently, this likely needs different weighting to make it work properly.

Hi, i did a rebase recently for my personal fork which includes this feature. I first want to make some improvements on this because the current algorithm is quite naive. |

Issue #14 discussed this feature before, but the branch the maintainer mentioned is out of date by 74 commits.
This pull request implements recency bias into the applications plugin, meaning recently / commonly searched applications will be prioritized. The history file is stored in
$HOME/.cache/anyrun-applications-history. The maximum number of entries can be changed in the config file usinghistory_size(see README.md).Recency bias is only applied if the other score components are not 0 (to prevent unrelated results showing up) and when the input field is empty.
