  • Excellent way to clear the desktop and simplify opening any app or document.
  • The program reports that alt + space is busy. If you do not pay attention to this message, the program is perfectly called by this combination. For some reason, two input fields appear.
  • Простой без русского языка. Некоторые плагины на сайте не работают.(скачать нельзя). Msconfig не ищет не работает
  • Awesome! And it works properly when running via ssh -X
  • Excellent product, (why the 2 low ratings)? I have just installed launchy on my fourth computer. All I had to do was download, install, allow to start, then touch the settings and request a scan. The whole process following the downloading was completed in under 2 minutes. I tried it to launch a couple of programs, and it did this flawlessly. This has been one of the first programs I install on new computers. Much faster than locating icons on my desktop (particularly since they have a habit of moving around when new shortcuts are added). Most of my programs are displayed after entering only two or three characters of the name. They don't even need to be for the first word of the name, eg I can enter mo for Mozilla or fi for Firefox: either way my Firefox will be launched.
  • Guys Fix your program or check it ! I just download it and reinstall twice already but it does not work. I typing smth in it but nothing happen!
  • Seven stars. Every computer without Launchy feels unusable and frustrating, until I install Launchy. I'm a mixed Win, Mac, Linux user, and Launchy makes all them (more or less) usable. Had to (rather happily) pay a decent sum when again installing Launchy in another machine, and understood that I'd need to give up IT industry, if Launchy wasn't available anymore.
  • Good solid app that helps productivity significantly.
  • Awesome
  • Shameless plug: for those who are interested, there is a recent alternative to the venerable Launchy (which I have been a user for many years). It's named Keypirinha.
  • Excellent, but it was not updated.
  • Been using it for years!
  • great app, thank you
  • must have
  • an amazing tool for user to quick operate and find fire!
  • Incredible program! I wonder why they don't update it.

  • Very helpful app, but can you make your config and db file hidden? Just add . to names. It annoys me to see them all the time in my /home directory.
  • Though I do feel Handicap without Launchy since the very time I made a transition to Windows 8 Desktop PC. As we all know, it goes "deprived" of the Start Menu, & thus, requirement of an efficient Launcher becomes even must! However, it is disappointing to observe that No new version has been released yet since the Year 2010! Launchy desperately requires a quick overhaul to fine tune its functioning & efficiency in order to customize as per Win 8 OS requirements! There goes tons of listed items within Control Panel of Win 8, & Launchy is able to provide an access to a only a few at one go! Therefore, some Customizations need to be introduced in order to enable a complete index of the Control Panel items.For instance, I should be able to quickly launch "Windows Update" at one go without the requirement of making maneuvers to access the same. Similarly, the Task Manager of Win8 depicts Launchy's Start-up Impact to be "Very High" in comparison to the rest of the companions sitting innocuously in the System tray. This needs to worked upon as well in order to Optimize on the available resources! I would request the Author of this Application to quickly come up with more innovations to keep the pace with the changed OS dispensation.
  • I'm a long time user and this app is a huge time saver. Really useful.
  • I am using Launchy for 2 days now and it was indeed a usefull application. A while ago, after trying to access the settings of Launchy a pop up from Windows notified me of an error on Launchy.exe. After which it says that a "crash dump" has been created on the temp directory and this can be sent to developer as a bug report. The problem is: I don't know where to find the crash dump file. I try to look into C:\Windows\Temp but to no avail. Can anyone help? I tried reinstalling the software several times but the error always comes back and I can no longer run the app anymore. Before this error came, I have installed plugins and skins (which seemed to work just fine). And had switch from Launchy 2.5 to the latest version which is Beta. Thanks in advance. Rod :( P.S. I still don't know how to send that dump file to the developer just in case I find it.
  • Oh my god, I LOVE Launchy! It's my new favorite program. There are some AWESOME skins out there, too, like the Pip-Boy & a really awesome Steampunk one, both were so unexpected & utterly perfect for my love of customizing everything possible, especially on my computer. The plug-ins really add some great extensible capabilities & I've loved the ease in which pulling Launchy up on the screen is done. I have ObjectDock, but I find this much more useful a lot of the time! Thanks for Launchy, seriously guys, thank you <3 Love, Qua
  • Typing only 3 letters is usually enough to run the desired application. Simple but very useful program, no need to search through the 'Start' menu any more.
  • Launchy works good.
