LaunchShelf
A home for the apps you build.
If you build small apps, they end up scattered across folders, and you forget how to start half of them. Drop a project folder on LaunchShelf, check what it suggests, and that app gets its own card with one big Launch button.

This is the real app with made-up projects. The video has no sound.




Before you download anything from a stranger
You don't know me yet, so here's exactly what this does on your computer.
- It has no network code. It doesn't phone home, and there are no accounts or tracking.
- It only runs a command after you've saved it and pressed Launch. Adding a folder never runs anything.
- It installs to your own user account, with no administrator password, and comes with an uninstaller.
- Your source files stay where they are. It only keeps its list of projects and their logs.
- It's open source under the MIT license, so you can read every line first.
- It's an early version. It needs Linux on x86_64, and my real-world testing has been on my own Omarchy machine, so other setups may have rough edges.
