The Vision

AppLauncher aims to be the go-to launcher for anyone who wants a simple, convenient way to contain their apps and games. No unnecessary accounts. No random extra junk. Just a snappy, FOSS launcher that gives you the features you actually need without wasting your time.

The Story

AppLauncher began as a simple fix for a very messy desktop. The options weren't great: leave them cluttering the screen, hide everything and dig through folders every time you want to play something, rely on third-party launchers that usually miss the mark, or build a new launcher from scratch.

So the fourth option won. It took more than a year of making, but the result was worth it. A fast, feature-rich launcher that finally puts everything where it belongs.

My hope is: that you, dear visitor, get the same usefulness out of it that I did.
