Great piece of software - HUGE difference maker

I am seldom impressed enough with software to go online and write a review, but I had to make an exception in this case. Launchy has totally changed how I interact with my MBP and saves me a ton of time. I’m a professional editor and animator and switching around between apps is a big part of what I do and was getting to be cumbersome and time consuming. My dock had become a mess and the answer wasn’t really in a bunch of hotkeys. I was considering getting a StreamDeck or Logi Creative Console, but I found this first and am glad I did. This software is so intuitive, easy to implement and above all FAST that it’s become a big part of my workflow. Thank a million for making it so good AND affordable. The very reasonable one time purchase price without the need for a silly subscription is also a breath of fresh air. Can’t say enough good things about it. If you work on your Mac, get it - you won’t regret it.

Great shortcut, one and only potential downside.

This is an amazing app, I love to use it specifically for my most used like Notion or WebStorm. And this perfectly works for it so my tab bar isn’t cluttered. Only downside that I’m at- least noticing is the fact that its a bit choppy when using the shortcut, specifically opening it feels like its running at 5 frames a second compared to the video. If theres a way to potentially fix this, or even just have it so it instantly open up the app without any animation, that would be amazing!

Hey! Thanks for the review. There is a way to disable animation. Go to the app Settings -> Wheel Launcher -> in the "Other preferences" section, there will be a "Show launcher with animation" toggle. You can turn it off.

I've really been enjoying the Launchy app—it's incredibly easy to use and runs smoothly without any glitches. Launching apps on my MacBook through Launchy is much more efficient than using the desktop dock. It’s streamlined, intuitive, and saves time. Overall, it’s a fantastic app that enhances my workflow. Highly recommended!

My dock was getting rather cluttered. Now it only has what I need to be on it and Launchy has the things I need all the time and everywhere my mouse is. Opening or moving to apps is so fluid, I am so happy I was told about this app!

This new version doesn’t include any new cool features. However, it does address a few important bug fixes: - Fixed an issue on Tahoe where drag-and-drop actions were opening target apps without actually providing them with the file. - Added an option to export logs. As always, feel free to reach out at https://tinyurl.com/launchyapp for live support!
