Launch Mac apps & sites with a hotkey and custom modes

👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Lucy, the maker of LaunchDeck — a lightweight app launcher for Mac I built to speed up my daily design and coding routines.
Every day, I’d open the same apps and tabs — Figma, Xcode, VS Code, Notion, Chrome… it added up. I wanted a simple way to launch all of them in one click or hotkey.
With LaunchDeck, you can:
Create custom modes like “Design” or “Coding Session”
Launch your go-to apps + browser tabs instantly
Access everything from your Mac's menu bar
Stay focused without all the manual setup
This is v1, so it’s focused on speed, simplicity, and reliability. It’s minimal, but powerful — and perfect if your day revolves around creative or technical flows.
I'd love to hear what your setup looks like — and thanks so much for checking it out 💙
— Lucy
