Desktop application launchers
These 22 products are desktop application launchers that let users quickly find, start, and manage installed programs, often tailored to specific environments such as KDE Plasma, GNOME, or Windows 11, with some adding utilities for autostart management, workspace organization, or clipboard history. Entries in the pre-index period trickled in steadily from November 2019 through July 2026, with most months contributing a single product and a couple of months in 2026 adding two. No member shows meaningful traction, as all activity signals are at zero stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 1 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
