LiberKey

LiberKey is a lightweight software application built specifically for helping you launch and manage your programs. It comprises special features for portable tools for helping you make file associations, place shortcuts on the desktop, and trigger online updates. Plus, you can install various portable programs with just a few clicks or add some of your own.

You are welcomed by a clean feature lineup. There's support for a wide range of dedicated parameters, so you need to take some time and experiment with them, if you want to make the most out of this tool.

With a double-click mouse operation on the selected item, you can easily open the document/file, utility, or webpage. You are allowed to run the selected program using administrator privileges.

You can also take advantage of the built-in floating menus, so you can quickly access some items directly from your desktop, and use the drag-and-drop support for adding files into the working environment on the fly.

LiberKey gives you the possibility to create a list with applications/files, folders, or webpage, create multiple menus where you can easily store your items, view lists the most used items, as well as check the list with recently-opened files.

What’s more, you are allowed to export the generated menus to XML file format and upload them in your future projects, perform basic editing operations with items (cut, copy, paste, delete), and open the folder where the selected document is stored.

The tool is also able to provide details about your partitions (capacity, used and free space), and lets you choose between a wide range of preset icons for customizing each menu, so you can quickly identify the items that are stored in.

Advanced parameters allow you to specify the executable, folder, webpage, or document path, working directory, and command-line parameters, run the tool automatically at Windows startup, as well as assign keyboard shortcuts.

Last but not least, you can create shortcuts to your programs that are automatically placed on the desktop and removed when you exist LiberKey, and perform search operations.

LiberKey enables you to alter the color of the menu and windows, add portable shortcuts on the screen when the menu is opened, remove portable shortcuts when the menu is closed, enable or disable file associations, as well as close any running portable utilities and disconnect the removable devices when a menu is closed.

What’s more, you can manage the tools that run at startup and shutdown of the LiberKey's menu (enter a custom time before self-execution and between each run), download updates for your applications, configure HTTP proxy settings, send warning messages if prior updates are available, and always update file associations, set associations, or never update them.

Plus, you may show or hide a clock, disable all animation effects for the UI, and enable keyboard shortcuts to launch applications and set a reminder before opening the target tool.

LiberKey proves to be a reliable launcher that offers support for a wide range of configuration settings that can meet the requirements of rookies and professionals alike.
