About Launchy
Launchy is a free cross-platform utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager. Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes! Launchy has just been released for Android in Winter 2021. It takes an entirely new spin on finding and starting your apps, so give it a try! A clean and fast interface to find and launch the app you're looking for. Forget grids of icons that are constantly changing. No more slow and clunky keyboard. Find your apps by name with our novel paddle system. Intelligently presents your apps in frequency and recency order. You can then type in a few keys of the program you are searching for and hit enter once it has been found. You can also make Launchy disappear again by hitting escape or alt+space.
