Quick App Launcher and Hub
Only for Mac
$14.99
Mac
AuraPad is a modern native desktop launcher designed for speed, clarity, and daily productivity.
Unlike full screen launchers, AuraPad presents a lightweight floating window that keeps your surrounding desktop context visible. It opens instantly when summoned and dismisses cleanly without breaking your workflow.
Key Features
1. Modern Floating Window
A centered floating card that preserves your screen context. Features an organized left sidebar for navigation and a smooth vertical scroll area for all your items. Click outside or press Esc to dismiss anytime.
2. Quick Hotkey Access
Pin your most essential tools to the top row. Launch your top daily apps directly with keyboard shortcuts, making app switching fast and effortless.
3. Custom Shortcuts Hub
More than just an app launcher. Create custom tiles for web bookmarks, folder paths, and automation shortcuts with custom colors and symbols.
4. Smart Categories and Independent Order
Group apps by category and collections. Each view maintains its own custom order, so reordering inside one category will not affect your main view.
5. Visual Customization
Choose between desktop blur, dynamic ambient color effects, or your own wallpaper. Adjust blur intensity and brightness to fit your preferred style.
6. Offline and Privacy Focused
Runs strictly inside the Apple App Sandbox with 100% local storage. No network connections, no analytics, and zero tracking.
Get AuraPad today and make launching your daily tools faster and more enjoyable.
