This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
Launch is a Mac application that runs built-in and custom JavaScript files. Your scripts live in ~/Launch (or another folder if you prefer) and you can connect to any Git backend to sync them. You can `cd` to change the active directory and some scripts will run in that directory (e.g. to copy or delete certain files) while others run anywhere (e.g. to open an app). You can think of it as a launcher with some shell functionality, or an extensible command line with quick launch and autocomplete.
What can you do with Launch? Here are some ideas:
- press option+space and then type `app maps` to open Apple Maps
- write a script that checks an RSS feed for new items and run it on a schedule and/or manually
- wrap each of your thousands of vibe coded apps with a script so that you can find and run them easily
- write a cleanup script that deletes files from multiple locations
- etc
